Brickspace 4.0

To all Brickspace viewers,
Hej! Welcome to the start of a whole new era of Brickspace, called Brickspace 4.0. 4.0 is the fourth version of what you now know as Brickspace. Before that, it was called 'Best Lego... Ever' and 'Best of Brickshelf', but it is in its reincarnation into Brickspace that this blog started to get really popular. Our hits are rising every week, and we are getting lots of great feedback from you viewers (to give us feedback, click on 'feedback' to the right), so Luke and I thought Brickspace needed to be modernised, so your opinions on the site are heard.
What you see today is only the start of a whole new Brickspace, with what we hope will be a fully dynamic, animated layout. It will include an easier way for you to browse the site, but I won't spoil it for you, you'll just have to wait!
Anyways, here's what's new as of today:
1. Graphics
Though people have told me the graphics of Brickspace are great, I was never satisfied with them, and so I've updated them whilst still keeping with our unique colour scheme and our distinctive graphic logo. The two updated graphics are the banner you see at the top of each page and the horizontal divider bar at the bottom.
2. Star Ratings
You may have noticed that our staff rate each creation out of five. Now, as we have got rid of some faults in Brickspace's HTML, you can rate posts too. At the bottom of each post is a simple dynamic widget for rating our posts yourselves, and seeing what others thought of the post. So get involved!
3. Search box and widths
Our old Blogger layout was a little too thin, so Luke and I have kindly re-HTML'ed the layout to allow for a wider post section and thus wider content-space on Brickspace. We hope this helps you to see all of some pictures which were, beforehand, cut off on the right by the sidebar.
Another addition to our layout is a search bar, which many of you have been asking for as the top one in the black Blogger bar was strangely invisible. Now, above the welcome text, you can find a search box fo' searching our posts, fools.
That was a Mr. T impersonation, might I add, as I do not actually think you are fools.
Enjoy, and farvel!
