First of all, I fixed the "add this" share button that I broke a few days ago (just now noticed it).
I finally spent 5 minutes learning about htaccess and mod_rewrite so I could make the URLs for the articles a bit prettier. I applied the changes not only to the HTML here, but also to the RSS, which may lead to every article being duplicated, depending on your RSS reader. Sorry about that, but I'm sick of having a query string.
Also, I created an "easter egg" on the site (does it cease to be an easter egg because I revealed it? I donno). Whenever you have a single-word keyword, you can access all articles under that keyword by just adding it to the end of http://latewire.com/ (it is not case-sensitive). Some examples include: Bailouts Economics Health Food Snakes
Another thing you might notice is that when you click on an article or a user, a box shows up on the right column with a bit of biographical information in it written by the author/user. It also has a "website" field which you can theoretically contact the user from, since we don't do that through this site. I setup a facebook account for that purpose, if there's anything you need to contact me about.
In other news, it appears a new formula for movie jackets is taking over:
Samuel L Jackson's left face + white woman = $$$ (Screenshot taken from my netflix account) (47,932)
