Hey everyone, just letting you all know that the Phoblographer is getting a minor facelift tonight. The new look will accommodate to enable faster load times on mobile devices, slower internet connections, and the Apple Tablet. All this is being done while still delivering the superb image quality that we strive for here at the Phoblographer. The new look will also enable us to show readers who wrote each article. Currently, the staff consists of myself (Chris Gampat) and Vincent Pastore.

I’d also like to remind you all that we are now available at ThePhoblographer.com and to please update your RSS feeds as well.

Thanks.
