A reminder: registered users can get their own gravatar (the little image next to your name in the comments) by going to gravatar.com and signing up for an account using the same email address you used for your account here.
Yesterday, commenters without gravatars saw a rather generic "mystery man" image next to their name. Today we've replaced those with identicons — geometric images associated with your user name. If you hate your identicon, you can still go get a gravatar.
Otherwise, everything seems to be running smoothly at the moment other than the still-missing 8000 comments, which I hope to find later in the week. Do comment or email (robin at nstperfume dot com) if you find a broken page, or have any other problems using the site. And if you missed it, the We moved post explains most of what is new at Now Smell This.
