The New Library

Hey I just noticed at the top of the page, what used to be called lessons is now called library. Did this just happen today or am I slow to notice? Was it announced somewhere? ..a rationale given? Not that it matters, I'm just curious about the change. Most importantly is it more than just a name change? I'll guess at this stage it's just a name change. I guess it's all about language, innit? ...what the words lessons and library conjure up and also how the site is organised. There are other places on the site to access the lessons, like the dashboard...automatic feeds and bookmarked lessons. But the library is the store of all the sites lessons. Also any site can have lessons, but not any can boast such a large store of new and old lessons..just like a real world library...a great resource.  Are there any other site changes?

oh, thanks RJ...you know in the back of my mind I had a bell ringing that I should seek out and check the blog, but I haven't checked it in ages, and haven't heard mention of it so I wasn't sure if it was still going and sometimes in the past changes were still notified on the site with a link to the blog...I guess because it's small this time it wasn't worth making a post about it. No biggie..was just curious. Anyhow, noted, check blog more,hehe.

What's with the annoying (well, ok, it's not that annoying ;-) ) sales banner across the top now?  I thought there used to be a 'X' in the top-right corner that let us permanently minimise it?
