As you may have noticed, we have recently made a few changes to Export Law Blog. First, we’ve spiffed up the visual design of the site a bit, having been more or less forced to redesign the look of the site when an update to WordPress nuked our old design.

Second, after many requests, we’ve added a search tool in the column on the right. The search bar uses a custom Google search. After some testing the custom Google search bar appeared to provide search results that were better than the native search engine supplied by WordPress.

In the subscriptions section, again in the right-hand column, in addition to the email and RSS options for subscribing, there is now a Twitter icon which, if clicked, will take you to our new Twitter page. Each new post will be, er, tweeted, which would allow you to receive notification on your mobile device, if you’d like, either by SMS or through the Twitter app available for iPhone and Blackberry smart phones. (Not that I’d imagine that anyone really needs to get updates from here with that much urgency!) Not to worry, there will never be a Facebook fan page for this blog.

Finally, some readers have reported that their email notifications have stopped working. It appears that some notifications are being trapped in certain spam filters. I’m working on some adjustments to the email notification program that may prevent that. In the meantime, please ask your IT department to white list “clif atsymbol exportlawblog period com,” which is the address from which these notifications originate. Also, if anyone is still having problems with the notifications, please let me know so I can continue to make sure that this function operates properly.
