Last night we launched a new site for The Herald called HeraldTalk.   Based on the Movable Type platform, the site provides a central, pre-moderated place for readers to comment on the big topics of the day.  

I’m fairly pleased with the look & feel we’ve achieved in a relatively short space of time.  Both in terms of appearanace and code, it’s a fairly big leap forward from the main Herald site.  So far the feedback seems positive and we’ve already had a decent number of readers signing up — result!
