Seven virgins and a mule

January 31, 2012 | Klang

OK, maybe not. But, as the song says, keep it cool: you're looking at the all-new Klang web site. It's been a very long (too long) time in the making, but nearly every line of code has been reworked, retooled and given a fresh coat of paint. As always, shoot us a line at klang@klang.org if you find anything out of place.

(Many thanks to the fine folks at Twitter and jQuery for supplying some layout and scripting under a liberal license. As for the rest of it, we would like it to be known that the exhibits that are shown are exclusively our own - all our own, all our own...)
