This week we have launched our redesigned web site for Popular Woodworking Magazine. It?s been a project that has been more than a year in the making. Yet no matter how much time or energy we poured into it, there are sure to be broken links and some confusion ahead.
But as someone who has been knee deep in this new site for many months, I think you?ll like it after you get used to it. Here are some of the highlights.
1. It?s still a free site. There is no absolutely no ?pay wall.?
2. The blogs have been integrated into the site, instead of running on a separate (and clunky) service. This means that commenting and searching will be much easier.
3. A search function that works and crosses all our content.
4. A greatly expanded article index with bigger photos and longer abstracts.
5. Pictures that expand when you click them.
6. A ?related articles? function that will help you find more articles like the one you are reading.
7. Robust tags that will allow you to follow any narrow topic that interests you (such as, all posts about ?workbenches? or ?weasels?)
8. Free access on our site to all of the drawings in our SketchUp library. Free.
To be honest, to use a couple of these features you will need to register as a user of the site (which is 100 percent free, no credit card, wampum, etc.).
To start exploring, I recommend you start out and get familiar with my blog page, which has all the same functions and content since 2005 as it does here, and then some. It also has a new name.
The Chris Schwarz Blog
Yes, we are marketing geniuses. Hold your applause. Oh, you are too kind.

P.S. We are pulling the plug on this blog on March 4. After that day, you will be redirected to the new blog page. So update your bookmarks!
