Extreme Makeover: Brownstoner Edition
You might notice a few changes that happened around here over the weekend. The most obvious is our new header which was created by Monika Wuhrer, a wonderful Park Slope-based designer who has built the site with us over the past year and change. Also, a big shout out to one of our favorite photo bloggers, Youngna Park, whose Dumbo Series we lifted the header image from. You also might notice a fourth column has been added, atop which sits another new feature--the first of a series of two-minute neighborhood videos. In true blogger fashion, this is an off-the-cuff effort with admittedly low production value. We hope they'll be a fun way for people to get a feel for the various neighborhoods we film over time. We've got a few other tricks up our sleeves in the coming weeks that should add a lot of functionality and utility to the site as well. As always, we welcome your suggestions and feedback.

One small thing: update your copyright to 2006, I would think

Looking fine! Now if you can get the login function working so more of us can contribute to "Our Brownstone" that would be even better.

Does anyone know what happened at the CB7 meeting on Wednesday concerning the Minerva building and the Katan Towers? I.e., did the board reject their attempt to get around the new zoning rules?
Thanks

Great idea to add the video. How about some house tours?

Looks great! Would talk more, but arms too tired from shoveling 18" of snow! It's very beautiful and peaceful today. Enjoy!

Hey Brownstoner, nice blog reno! As you tweak the 'My Brownstone' section, please consider including Crown Heights as a selectable neighborhood so I don't have to be in 'Other Brooklyn'. Crown Heights is a respectable place, you know!

Yeah! What Hal said! Thanks.

Really nice looking 'Stoner! Dig the video. I'll second adding house tours to the video selection. You know where I think you should start...

Get us in and we're there!

that video featurte is a great idea, but the movie of clinton hill blows. how about a walking tour, rather than driving?
