Today, we deployed a new website design for CrunchGear, our hardware and gadget blog. Whether you’re a regular CG reader or not, we hope you’ll be impressed with its new look and functionality.

We’ve changed a bunch of things around while trying to preserve its old feeling and identity. There’s now a featured posts box in the upper right, a SezWho reputation system for threaded comments, and headlines from all our blogs at the bottom of the page.

There are a lot of other little things changed, and we’re still making tweaks and fixing bugs. Please check it out and let us know what you think. Your feedback is especially important because we plan to roll out a very similar design for all our other blogs (including this one) in the beginning of 2008.

Special thanks goes out to ACS for designing the new site, Alex King of Crowd Favorite for implementing a lot of WordPress functionality, and Mediatemple for remaining our trusty hosting provider.
