Peculiarosities Relaunched

After abandoning Peculiarosities.com back at the beginning of January I've decided to relaunch it and along with the launch comes a new look. I have moved it from Typepad to Wordpress and have purchased a shiny new theme.

The theme allows news stories to be featured and YouTube videos to be easily integrated and I think it looks great. It's only been running for a few hours so there are parts of the site that are not completed. Over the next few days/weeks as I get familiar with Wordpress I will get everything sorted and I will be adding more to the site as I find new plugins (any suggestions?).

I aim for the site to become one of the best sites for weird news stories and in the future I will probably be looking for people to help out with posting stories.

Let me know what you think and feel free to point out things that can be improved/changed.
