A couple more blogs have been added to the Pweb Blog roll. If you haven't already, visit our Blog list and check out Max Watson's Asian Adventures and Busan Mike / 부산 마이크's blogs. Of course, let us know about your blog and we'll happily add it to the list.

Also back after a rather long hiatus is Pusan Poetry Plus. Seven and a half years, and still happening (albeit irregularly) Pusan Poetry Plus has been a great event to read poetry, strum a guitar, juggle or show your talent off to an audience of appreciative folk. PP+ #37 kicks off Saturday at around 8:30 pm. Click on the link for all the details and for an email address on how to sign up. Also, check out the Pweb video archives for our old PP+ content.

Finally, From the 7th to the 9th is the Haeundae Beach International Surfing Festival. Lots more details by clicking on the link.

There are lots more things happening around town this month. Visit the Calendar for more details and more stuff to do.

   You'll notice a few recent changes on Pweb, including the obvious change in design. When we first switched Pusanweb over to the Drupal CMS almost a year ago, we thought  we'd be modifying the basic theme design pretty quickly, but as you've probably noticed we wound up with that boring B7 theme for much too long. 
   We've begun experimenting with some other options and want your feedback. This current theme is based on 'LiteJazz' and aside from a very different look, it adds the functionality of posting recent blog posts, ads, and forum topics up top. Personally, I don't really like the color scheme there (not very readable), but otherwise think it's got potential. If you hate it and miss the old theme, you can switch back by logging in, clicking 'My Account/Edit' and choosing another theme.  We hope to roll out some other options soon.  If there are any design geeks out there interested in helping to make Pweb prettier, we'd welcome help.
  We've also recently updated the forums program and removed the frame from that page.  We've gotten some reports of login issues, but are working to resolve them.  If you are having trouble staying logged in to the forums, check out this thread.  More changes are on the horizon, so stay tuned for the Pwebolution. As always, thanks much for being part of the  Pusanweb community, and if you see things you'd like to change or improve, don't be hostile, be helpful.

 Next Saturday has something for everyone. If you're looking to hit the road, the 10th Boryeong Mud Festival runs from Saturday the 15th to the 22nd. It's a bit of a haul to get there, but lots of folk feel it's worth it. Directions to get there are on the event website.
