RegexLib.com features added

I spent some time this weekend altering RegexLib.com to try and push more information to the "front" of the site.  I've added a couple of repeaters to the Home page that show a listing of recent patterns and also the top 10 contributors.  Clicking on a top contributor takes you to a page that shows all patterns submitted by that particular user.  This is a new page and I'm hoping that it will make the site even more popular and further entice people to use RegexLib.com to store their own patterns.

While on the topic of RegexLib.com... about 3 months back Steve Smith and I added the ability to comment on patterns - in a style similar to the comment system on .Text - in that time there has been a lot of comments left and I think that it is proving its value because people using the patterns can see *much* more information about the pattern and be, on the whole, much better informed.  Unfortunately I still haven't wired it up so that the pattern author gets notified when comments are left - I hope to do that in the next week :-)

I really think that these new features will have a positive impact on the site and I look forward to hearing about the increased usage from Steve! :-)
