So this is our new, updated design, to celebrate the forthcoming Depeche Mode album. It'd be foolish to hope you all like it, so we'll settle for most of you ;) . There's still stuff that's being tweaked here and there, so there might be some things that aren't quite working the way they should. If you stumble across any such things, please put it in the comments here, or give us a shout on the forum. We've also registered at Twitter, and will be tweeting updates and random thoughts there - you can find our Twitter page at www.twitter.com/homemode.
