I have decided, despite the enormous amount of work that I put into it, to not use the new layout I had created. Although I strongly encourage everyone to use Firefox when viewing this site, I cannot force anyone to do it. The new layout, it seems, is only viewable in Firefox. There's no menu in Internet Explorer or in Safari, and the colors are all off... It was a mess. Anyway, click on the attachment to see a screenshot of the new layout.

For those of you who may be interested, I should probably let you know that the site will be changing layouts soon. The problem with the new layout, as I have discovered is that it is only compatible with Firefox. I have mixed feelings about that, so I am hesitant to put the new layout online. Regardless of whether or not I find a solution to the compatibility problem, the new layout will be available by the end of the week.

Now, without further ado...

35 new icons by totallyjoshed:

 I don't have many updates to report, but the ones I do have you will see at the bottom of this post. I made a new section called Articles. So far I only added three articles, but as others surface, they will be added there. Each article listed on that page has two links: the title of the article links to the article on the site, and the name of the site where it originally appeared links to the original page of the article.

These are the articles added so far:

• Josh Groban Goes Live from Central Florida News 13
• Josh Groban is not a Tool from Details Magazine
• Sundance Q&A: Josh Groban. No, seriously. from EW.com

Krisztina has made 8 new wallpapers:

totallyjoshed has 45 new icons:

Under Featured Stuff, on the right, you will samples of the latest graphics uploaded. If you click on the pictures, they will lead you to see a larger version. If you click on the name of the artist, you will be able to see the artist's full gallery for that particular type of graphic.

Here are the specs of today's update:

46 icons by new artist, totallyjoshed:

Note that the images do not link to anywhere - I did this on purpose because you already have links to these galleries from the Featured Stuff. I don't know if this works or not, but I thought I should give it a try. If it's inconvenient, I will consider making the pictures links in future updates.

 Welcome, once again, to The Josh Groban Site of Stuff. I know that I announced a few weeks ago that a major site change was in place -- well, here it is. I have kept the same layout (with the banner made by Mali Marie, by the way) because I thought it would be wiser to spend my time on the structure of the site rather than worry too much about colors and things like that. A truly new layout will come too, eventually.

While this post is more like an announcement than a real update, I think that I should still tell those of you who are not first timers here about the changes that I have made. The content has been kept the same. I have not removed any information; I have, however, added a few things. I think the biggest difference is in the Stuff section. Once you dive in to the individual categories, you will notice that you can now see at least one preview of the artist's work before looking at the rest of it. The same goes for the Gallery.

I am probably forgetting about a dozen other things that I should be telling you about, but one other important thing to note is that you can now make comments on posts like this one, which I strongly encourage! You can always send me feedback by using the contact form, but you can also do use by commenting. I'd love to hear from you either way!

There will be a batch of updates (believe me, it's HUGE) very soon, but until then, look around and let me know what you think. This version of the site is still in "beta testing mode," even though no alpha testing has been done and I don't have multiple installations of this same site all over my webspace... I think that's what happens with sites that actually undergo beta testing. ;)

Enjoy!
