You may have noticed that the Institute website has changed a little. We're moving over to a new platform (Drupal), which will expand the features we're able to offer you, our dear readers.Most of the changes are on the back end and you won't see them. But in the process we've also made a few design tweaks, the biggest being a new scrolling "blog style" format for stories on the front page. What do you think? Let us know in the comments.The transition is going to create some bugs on the site -- and we want you to help us find them! So we're holding a contest: The first Facing South reader to find 3 "dead" links on the ISS website and put them in the comments will get a free, one-year subscription to the Institute's award-winning print magazine, Southern Exposure!*Thanks for bearing with us, and thanks for reading Facing South.
* More about Southern Exposure: Founded in 1973, SE is our print journal of in-depth investigative and feature reporting. Over the years it's won the National Magazine Award, two George Polk Awards and other prestigious journalism honors. "Life after BP," our latest issue, was one of the most exhaustive reports to date on the ongoing health threats facing Gulf Coast communities one year after the BP oil disaster.
