ThumbView - Expansive Thumbnail support! / News: Recent posts

Today, December 2nd, is exactly 1 year after ThumbView's first public release! I am so proud on how it has spread!

To commemorate I have updated the website. The whole site is now XHTML 1.1 and CSS 2.0 valid. Also, it uses a RSS feed from SourceForge to enable this news system (integrated with Magpie, http://magpierss.sourceforge.net/\).

Both emails start like this:
"Dear author,

Hello and welcome to ThumbView's first news post! These might not be very frequent because, well... this ain't a newspaper =P

First of I'm incredibly happy that donations have started dropping in! We're already halfway to get a download.com account so that ThumbView gets a bit more spotlight.

Second, ThumbView has been chosen to appear in the German computer magazine COMPUTERBILD. Which apperently is the largest computer magazine in Europe with its 4 million readers! *gasp*
