OK, so I just dropped in some new functionality. Some of it is a bit experimental, so please let me know if you encounter any probs. The main things are:

• Profile Pics — Upload a pic of yourself and it'll accompany you around the site. As the end result is cropped square, those images will result in better looking profile pics.

• Picture Uploading — In general, you can upload pics to your account using the 'Upload Picture' links in the member area, or anywhere you'd regular post text (lesson, messages, et al). These pics are then available to you throughout the site.

• MP3 Uploading — You can now self-publish your own MP3s. Just upload it in the member area, tell us what gear you used, and some info about the song, set it to 'Published' and there ya go. Playback buttons accompany it everywhere on the site, so it makes for sweet listening in a variety of places.

• Commenting — You can now comment on most anything on the site, including lessons, pix, mp3s, news, videos, articles. You can include pix, chords, scales, et al in your comments, and it threads similar to Fretbuzz.

• The member area now contains a rolling feed of everything that happens on the site, so you can keep track of all new activity at a glance.

There's probably more stuff, but I'm getting tired of typing, so I'll let you all discover it at your own pace.

Let me know how it goes.
