Jason fixed lots of little website things yesterday; producer pics now appear in comments and properly link to profiles, we also fixed the last two profiles that were messed up from the digg server crash. Producers can also now embed youtube videos anywhere in profiles, like this. It currently only works for YouTube videos. We also added 'blocks' listing recent blog posts and comments throughout the site. 

The registration process was streamlined so that producers who donate no longer need to validate their e-mail address- this makes sense because e-mails are already validated through PayPal. However, we still need to clean up the usability, as the text/confirmation e-mails are now a bit confusing. Eventually, it would be cool to have donations all on site without sending people to PayPal, but that is complicated and requires a good deal more work. The first priority was just to automate the donation process, and that has finally been accomplished. We are planning lots of improvements, but are still juggling limited resources, so we have to be pretty efficient with what we do.
