New layout for the Dreamboard page

Nitya is putting together "Dreamboard parties" right now. We invite a few friends over with their laptops, talk, laugh and build boards...fun! We noticed that working on a board when on a laptop is a bit of a trial. The gallery seems to be in the way alot of the time and more time is spent working on the board itself than looking at the gallery. So I've made some changes to the Dreamboard page: the gallery is now a slide-up/slide-down control so you can get rid of it really easily and we've moved the top links down to the bottom to give you more room to work. I've also fixed some problems with Image Search and Internet Explorer 7, so that should work perfectly now. As ever, let me know if there are any problems! I hope these changes will make things much easier for everyone.

Something wonderful...

Over the New Year, we started brainstorming on things we'd like to see on the site. We all had one item at the top of the list: image search. It's a pain to have to go away from the site, download images, save them somewhere, upload images then finally add them to the board. So we're rolling out something wonderful...integrated image search. Now, when working on your board, you can use a page which wraps up google images so you can drag-and-drop images straight to your gallery. The gallery on the dreamboard page will be automatically updated once the image has been collected for you. Working on your board is much more satisfying, integrated and it's quicker to find the images you want. You can use the image search any time [even if you're not working on your board]. It's up right now, so give it a try and let me know how it goes!
