Cool, good idea, I have modified my script and added "jump to day" in
the sidebar.

Okay, 3 reasons I disagree with doing this:

* The comparison is not the same - BrowserCMS 3 is open source, so every
version is the "free version"
* The Google index will update fairly quickly. It is already returning
search results for the new site and within a day or two it should be
fine.

I disagree that it looks bad. And we explicitly agreed to trust our
designers, so I am very strongly against changing it.

Sorry for my slightly terse response before, I was quite tired.
