Welcome to the New Bones Spoilers


UPDATE: Facebook comments are now live and you no longer need to log in to facebook to complete our survey 
Today sees the launch of a refresh Bones Spoilers Blog and so when you log on, you'll notice some significant changes.
Mainly, there's been an overhaul of the old black color scheme in favor of white and orange which (hopefully) makes the blog a bit more exciting and welcoming when you're looking around.
Of course, with that also comes a new logo. It took a while to decide what it should look like but I've tried to mix in the classic Bones logo while keeping it unique.    
The blog itself has also been widened to give some extra room for blog posts and widgets; namely a Twitter button which I encourage you to press to follow the blog.
Beyond those obvious changes, there are a few other things worth taking a look at:
The Menus
The new menu bar at the top of the page has all the links the old blog had, plus a link to Twitter and the Bones Spoilers RSS feed - there so that you can get all the latest spoilers on any news feed. 
On the right, there's also a search bar so that you can find any post ever published.
Another menu has been added below the logo with the most popular labels on the site, allowing you to access certain pages in a hurry.
Post Footers
The footer to all the posts are also worth noting. In addition to the usual date, time and labels, I've added 'Tweet' and 'Facebook Share' buttons so that you can send the post on to your followers and friends.
Facebook Comments
I also added a new Facebook comments system to sustain the social networking theme; you can now log in using Facebook, Yahoo, Hotmail or AOL and your profile picture will appear in the thread. 


Related Posts
Each post also has four links to 'related posts'; other posts which might interest you from the archives. So if you really like a certain article, check out this section to find more of the same. 


Finally, please take a few minutes to complete this survey  with your thoughts of the new design and to report any issues that you may have so that I can sort them out. 
I would like to thank forensicmama for the privilege of updating such a fantastic blog and I hope you all enjoy the changes!
