The InstantSpot team pushed up some pretty big code changes this weekend. 

•  Customize your CSS!   For those of you asking for more styles, we have a solution.  You be the designer!  We have exposed the CSS code that controls the layout of your Spot.  You are no longer limited to the set of design templates we provide.  For a good example of a site that has already made use of this, check out Chris' Spot.
• Get Stats on your traffic!   InstantSpot now supports a handful (initially, but more will be added)  of tracking scripts to give you a handle on how many people are visiting your Spot, who is visiting your Spot, and where they came from.  Currently we are supporting Google Analytics, Blogbeat, Ice Rocket, and MyBlogLog.
• Multiple Categories!   Your Spot can no be a part of multiple categories in the directory.  Choose up to 3 categories to be a part of.
• Better control of blog categories - You can now control which categories your blog posts reside in.  This isn't an entirely new feature but there were some issues with this in the previous release and they have been resolved.
• Lots more invisible betterness!  Along with this version we included some pretty significant architectural and performance enhancements.  No... sorry... you can't see them but you will all sleep better at night knowing they are there!
