Paul and I are excited to share what's new on Neopoet.

The biggest change is the homepage. It now leads with what we think makes this place worth your time: poetry deserves more than a thumbs up. Whether you're a longtime member or someone just finding us, the new landing page is built around the substantive feedback and community that Neopoet has always offered.

The site should feel snappier across the board. We're also trying a small experiment: you can now react to individual comments, as a quick way to thank someone for a particularly good critique.
