Tool news at the Tool Hotline

I realize things are kind of slow at the moment, but that makes it a good time for me as a webmaster to implement some much needed upgrades and general sweeping-out-of-cobwebs on this site -- some major upgrades behind the scenes, and some tweaks and bugfixes on the public end. It's hard to believe the site's been up for over a year now...

Firstly, our affiliate store with Goodrock is open again -- now it takes Paypal, Google Checkout, mailorders, all kinds of fun stuff. I'm working on a skin for the store this week/weekend, but you can browse it now for the lowest prices on official Tool gear that I can find. Seriously, shirts that cost $40 on tour are $12.99 each here, and it's officially licensed merchandise, not bootleg crap. Hell, if you're super cheap, there's a sale on 1.5" eye/chakra buttons, $0.80 a pop.

Secondly, I've been working on some alternate skins for the site. I still really love the one we currently use, designed by Bryce Miller, but variety is the spice of life. Thirdly, I was considering putting together a nice lyrics database. Might even do a giganto Tool Music Collectors website, if the demand is there.

Also, look forward to a much improved RSS feed in the next week or so. Definitely a highly requested item. Got any other ideas? Tell me!
