Mozilla set the release date for Firefox 3 today. This is good news becasue now they can actually have a chance in setting a good record.
The date: Tuesday 17th june 2008, mark it on your calendar.
The servers should be able to cope with us all to go and download the browser and bandwidth isn’t an issuse for Mozilla as Firefox is hosted by Google on their servers.
Mozilla is going to try and set a world record for the number of software downloads in 24 hours, with the release of Firefox 3. There are many new features and improvments over version 2 of the browser, it’s faster, safer and uses less memory.
Help break this record by downloading on the release day, to find out more goto the Download Day Headquarters.

I have made some small changes the site, the main ones been the sidebars are now both on the right of the page the and AJAX powered search and archives have been turned off now.
Moving the sidebars was for SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and because we read left to right, I put the most important information on the left hand side of the page.
The AJAX stuff was coursing problems with the new updates so I turned them off, choosing the tradition links (to pages) way as this make my life a bit simpler.
Other changes are on the back-end, preparing the theme and some plugins for use with WordPress 2.5 released last week.
