Thanks to Alex at
Crazyleaf Design I've been able to construct a
GDF toolbar to help people keep up to date with what's happening, you can customize it how you want.
It contains live RSS Feeds from the forum, the blog, design float and crazyleafs blog. It also has a built in radio (you'll have to customize yourself) also helpful design links, live google search box etc.
Give it a go and let me know what you think.
