New Features?
Is there going to be a blog post documenting the new features?
I like the new interface, but it will take a few days to get used to.
There are a few bugs here and there. Like when I click Tool Tips Group, I get to a page where there are no projects.
Also, post counts seem to be a little out of whack. Each visit seems to raise it by 10.

There will be - once we find all the new features ourselves!
I think the blog RSS is broken, it's not loading any more.
What URL are you using? Did you subscribe to it a while back, or click a link - if so, what page was the link on?
I'm using http://www.instructables.com/news/rss.xml, subscribed to a while ago.
We're phasing out the news blog, as more people see things when we post to the forums instead. Update your rss reader to use http://www.instructables.com/forums/rss.xml - but wait until next week, I'm sorry to say that our last release broke that feed! But we'll fix it shortly.
The forum feed is working again, as well as a couple others with the same problem. Let me know if you find any other broken feeds!
Instructables feeds are fine, as are Groups feeds; Forums feed got broken. Oops!
The rating button is to the right, in the statistics box. You'll notice also that there is no longer a "-" button.

Thanks. I think that removal of the minus button was a good idea.
Here is something I just now came across: while editing my unpublished instructable, I clicked in the Try the New Editor hotlink and got:

I've just looked at the Share the Love contest pages, and the sorting isn't working:
Views link
Rating link
(See screenshots for the odd ordering)

I was concerned at first--I couldn't find the Forums link. Then I realized that there was a Community button...

Yeah, I hit home thinking it was "you", and went to the instructables trying to hit the forums link... I guess habit just kind of put my pointer where it was supposed to be without even reading it.
Yeah, I was a little confused. :P I do like the new contest page layout, though, how the projects are arranged. :) But I can't see the ratings right now, just a blank page!

This is the blank page that I get for the Tool Tips.

That link has been fixed. It was using a link for the old system.

I found a new one, the emails are now from Instructables Robot, not robot@instructables. Has anyone seen why the post count is so high on this topic? Is it a bug?

It seems as though every time I visit, the post count goes up 10.
Oh! New features - I thought I'd broken something again.
