I have been working for about a month now with a design and programming team on the new site design for TechPodcasts.com I am really happy with it so far. I had to send the initial design back for chances as the layout was to close to another site I am familiar with, and I am not going to have a finger pointed at me and say you copied our site. But with only so many designs out their it is hard not to step on someones toes, I have added enough deltas to make it fundamentally different enough to not cause hate and discontent.
If the custom programming gets finished I hope to go live with the new site on Feb 1 this has been a long time coming but it will be worth it..
