What better way to start your day than with a quick dose of Orlando City?  It's time for The Morning Roar!

Everything looks just a little bit shinier today, doesn't it?  A new website will do that.  The development team and I have been working on this, from concept to quasi-completion since November.  To see it finally come to fruition is a relief, because now we can start working on the fun stuff.  You can't build the entertainment center until you build the house, and that's exactly what we're doing here.

Within days, the new Photo Gallery system should be ready.  It was nearly ready for launch, but some kinks in the interface pushed it back.  Gone are the days of sifting through Flickr streams.  We'll also be uploading last year's images as well, so you'll finally be able to see the shots as they were meant to be seen.

Beyond photos, you'll soon see some of the interior pages get a major facelift.  The aim for our player pages is to change the way you see a player's page by integrating news, photo galleries, video, and social media all into one big scouting report/dossier.  Making connections with our players and finding reasons to ,make a a player your favorite - something that goes beyond scoring an amazing goal in the 93rd minute - will become much easier.

The Game Center will also be receiving a major overhaul, but that one I'm not quite ready to discuss.  It's a very ambitious project, but will make following our matches a great experience, especially when we're on the road.

I want to close with a word of thanks for all the compliments we've received so far on the new site. Thank you for continuing to be the best fans in American soccer.  Be sure to show that passion on March 1 when Commissioner Garber comes to town!
