OK, xmas and new year out the way, let me explain whats changed at DrupalSN.
Well in short nothing major just some design tweaks and enhancements that I had been wanting to do for awhile, here's a full list:

New homepage layout and features

The homepage was starting to get cluttered so I decided to move this around abit (and added tabs and a new recent logins block) which has hopefully made it easier to navigate, it's no http://bbc.co.uk but i think it's an improvement.

I also added a feature slideshow-type thing at the top to highlight important and new things on the site and in Drupal in general.

User profile changes

A. I've put all the profile information into tabs at the top so the most important information is available to users straight away at the top.

B. Added a new skills section to profiles so users can optionally display their skills to other users.

C. Added an improved user stats tab that includes profile views, project views, last login, content added stats and more.

D. New company and freelancer badges and colour coding to help users distinguish between companies, freelancers and other users.

Improved layout on people and companies pages

Hopefully this has made the companies and people pages easier to use.
I've also added companies to the primary navigation as I believe it could be really useful users looking to hire a Drupal specialist.

Ajax colour switch

The colour is now ajax powered so changing the site colour now happens without refreshing the page.

General change up

I've rounded afew corners and improved the tabs throughout the site in the hope of making it that bit more pleasing on the eye.
As I've said before I'm not a design but I'm fairly happy with the outcome (for now!)

What now

I have a number of things planned for the site, some of them pretty big but it's over to the community to suggest things.

I want to keep things underwraps for now while I decide on what next but I'd love to hear what everyone thinks of the changes and what else you'd like to see on the site.

Thanks again to everyone for supporting the site in 2008, I hope the site will continue to grow in 2009
