sig2feed goes beta

After the amazing demand whipped by by
sig2feed, I’m pleased to announce it’s gone beta!
Code named ’snarf’ — sig2feed has had some small sections of code cleaned up, the admin panel is a little less, well, ugly and a new feature has been bedded down.
If you wish to add your custom sig2feed block on a […]
