Added Site Functionality

Hey guys I just added some new features to the site to improve happy fun time enjoyment.
Firstly I fixed the glitch where the the page layout went nuts if you accessed the comments section while not logged in. Still not sure what caused the bug in the first place, however after moving some files and code around it’s fixed.
Secondly I made it so an account is no longer required to leave comments on the site. I figured this was pretty inconvenient to casual listeners of the podcast, so I made it so you no longer need one. Existing account members can now log in using the handy box in the right hand sidebar.
I also added a feature that makes it so people who don’t have avatars can easily get one from Gravatar. I’m not sure if this one works yet, but supposedly if you don’t have an avatar the next time you post a comment it will give you the option of getting one with a little check box. Let me know if this one’s working.
And last but not least I’ve added some subscription buttons so you can subscribe to the podcast in your music player of choice. There’s iTunes (which I’d recommend), Zune (who finally accepted our feed into their database after A YEAR of trying), or the raw RSS feed (if you’d rather subscribe to the show using a feed reader).
We’re still working on the problems with the podcast player. If we can’t get them resolved we’ll be switching to a different one soon. I’ll try not to make it a flash one (because no-one really likes flash, we just tolerate it), but we might have to.
Douzo!

The “login” link takes me to the wordpress settings rather than enabling me to make comments.
But the site seems to recognize me anyway.
Jesus, Villainy Inc. are only catering for their casual demographic nowadays… It’s a real kick in the balls for their hardcore fans who’ve stuck with them since the eighties.
Sorry, but you had it coming when you started talking about making it easier for the casual listeners.
But seriously, the new layout is gravy, especially now that you’ve fixed that annoying bug.
