To celebrate the 2nd anniversary of IslamCrunch, the design team at MQube developed a new look for our site. Welcome to IslamCrunch 3.0. Alhamdulillah.

We have added some jQuery to the site to streamline content and minimize scrolling for the user experience. Micro-blogging on Twitter has been an interesting adventure for us and wanted our readers who are not familiar with Twitter to have a better exposure to our micro posts. The Twitter widget is a customized design that employs their json code (this json format has a special appeal for me, any guesses why?) Besides Twitter, we have highlighted other social networks that we are active on.

We also streamlined the design from a 3 column layout to a 2 column layout. Please add your comments below, your feedback is important to us.
