I’m glad you found the Daily Mammal’s new location. If you’re new here, welcome, and if you’re an old hand, I hope you’ll enjoy exploring the new site. I’ve added some features like categories and tags (look in the right-hand sidebar), the search function is easier to find, and I’ll be creating new Daily Mammal downloads (like desktop wallpapers and printable notecards) in the coming weeks, which you can access from the Downloads link up at the top of the page. (There’s nothing new there right now, though.)

One of my favorite new touches is the way all the mammals are now numbered. Look for the pink badges like the one just to the right of this paragraph to keep track as we slowly but surely count up to 5,000 species. (Unfortunately, if you read this blog via RSS, you will see the numbers but not the pretty pink borders.)
Another new thing is how comments will work. On the old site, I had to approve or reject every comment, and you had to register. Now only your first comment has to be approved. After that you’ll be trusted to comment however you want. (The reason I choose to moderate comments is that when I first started the site, I was barraged with a series of abusive comments from one person, who maintained that I was exploiting animals for my own professional gain. I welcome any comments that aren’t abusive or spam, though!)
Please let me know if you see anything weird or wrong that I need to fix. Thank you!

It looks wonderful, Jennifer! Wow, what a gorgeous look.
I know how long and hard you worked on this, and I can tell you it all paid off.
Congratulations. The site is now (almost) as beautiful as your drawings!

Hey, thanks, everybody! I’m glad you like it!
Love the colors & clean look. Easy on the eyes. Great job!! Mandy
I really like the new look! It is very bright and the mammal drawings show very well. I also like the new look of Storyteller’s Workshop.
Great job!
