Re: the new look and feel

Hey guys, isn't it time for a web site change of look or something? I mean, yoursite looks really nice, but you haven't changed the layout in years!

2 years is a long time to go without a change of scenery, n'est pas vrai? Realizing that it was time to do something, the HTML Swiss Army Knife rolled up his sleeves and went to work.
  After weeks spent scribbing in his sketch pad, slicing and dicing mockups in Photoshop, and pounding out lines of HTML code (and taking occasional breaks playing the trĂ©s-cool GRAN TURISMO), the HTML Knife emerged from his foxhole with a grin and a sparkle in his eye. Eureka!
  Without further ado, here's the new look and feel for EX. Thumbs up? Thumbs down? Drop us a line at ex@apricot.com and speak your mind.


And speaking of two years...

Taking a break from production, sipping on some earl grey, and watching the cheesy-yet-cool GAOGAIGAR, the HTML Swiss Army Knife realized that it has been two years since EX got off to a humble start.
  To our faithful readers, and to everyone who supported EX during our two-year run: Thanks for sticking with us. We promise to keep up the effort.
  To my fellow coworkers at EX: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It's cool to work with you guys, and I look forward to another year of publishing.
  And to the pesky critics who predicted that EX would go the way of the dodo: We've come this far, and we aren't stopping.


Coming next issue...

The first midwestern anime convention, AnimeCentral '98 got off to its first start in Chicago on April 3-5. EX was on location and interviewed the "obsessed with guns, girls, cars, and Chicago" Sonoda Kenichi. A write-up of the convention and the interview will be forthcoming next issue.
  Also: Do You Remember Macross? It has been 15 years since Lynn Minmay's singing captivated the heart of many a fan. EX focuses on the series SUPER DIMENSION FORTRESS MACROSS.
  See you in six weeks!

Yours Truly,

Keith Rhee
The HTML Swiss Army Knife
