New Comment Structure

I'm changing the layout of how comments are recorded on this site. The bad news is from here on out you will have to enter an email address (whether it is yours or some fictitious email address), but the good news is the comments will flow more like conversations on a message board and also can be sorted. The comments will also be timestamped and can be turned into blog posts if any of our readers are interested into contributing to the site.

Upcoming Events on Canes Rising

• This week: Season previews of all Miami Football opponents for 2008

New Features on the Site

As you've noticed our site has had a minor overhaul in the past few weeks. We've installed a widget with Canes Rising headlines which you can place on your desktop or on a website. Here is the link for the Canes Rising widget. In addition, in preparation for ACC play we have added the ESPN.com Miami Basketball widget to our site and the Canes 2008 ACC schedule. Both features are in the right hand margin. Also, this week's podcast release has obviously been delayed but we hope to have it released sometime late tonight or tomorrow morning.

Looking for Contributors

Anyone who would like to write for this site or contribute to our fledgling podcast, please write me at Kartik@pamconsultingfl.com or drop a message here in the comments. We're looking for different points of view on things and also some more recruiting coverage. Thanks!
