I have updated the main page layout to improve it in some ways. First of all, you probably noticed the new "Latest news" header. I think it adds a little something that was missing on this page. I also copied the RSS icon to the top of the news to give it some added visibility. On a side note, the RSS feed has been updated a bit to fix the reported update times (they were off by a few hours), and to carry some more information.

The right sidebar now features a "Random quote of the Day", which displays a new quote from a random Mega Man game every day. The list of quotes was compiled thanks to some help from Breakman.

Finally, another new item on the right sidebar is called "Help this website!". Several people write to me offering to help with the website in some way, but they usually don't know what they can do. This new list features several interactive sections of the site where user input is especially welcome. When I'll have more options for interested users, they will be added to that section.

Here is a description of the various options now available:

• Send FanArt: the gallery always welcomes more submissions from anyone who draws Mega Man FanArt. You can read the details on how to submit pictures there. Fan characters are also allowed as long as they fit in the Mega Man universe somehow.
• Submit links: the link database is built to run on user contributions. Everyone can add a link to a website they know about, even if they are not the owner. You can jump right in and add all of the sites you know about, but of course, checked if they aren't already listed first!
• Link to this site: a nice way to help if you are the owner of a website is to link to this place. The "Link to me" page offers several link banners and buttons in various sizes. Once you link to this place, remember to submit your own link!
• Send feedback and comments: I always welcome feedback from new and old visitors alike! You can open that page to send me a message without opening your e-mail client.
• Sign the Mega Man Manga Petition: the ever-running petition aims to convince publishers to release more of the Japanese Mega Man manga to North America, in English obviously.
