Since it’s almost 2010 I figured it was time to ditch the 2008 design and functionality – though I know we will all miss it, just like we miss the 2007 version. Wish I had saved a screenshot of the 2005 version …
Plus with the dawning of a new political era it might be the dawn of a new blogging era here, kinder, gentler, and perhaps more generally rational.
One thing you’ll notice is we have gravatars showing in the comments. If you have one it will show up, and if you haven’t gone to gravatar to create your own, our new software will very cleverly attempt to discern your personality based on your writings and will provide a design reflecting your inner self. So creating one or just having the inner self revealed – you can go either way, it’s all the same to me.
Very nice! Though your intro reminds me a bit of the Windows 7 ads. Hope that’s not a bad omen….
I like it!
Looks good joe, question for you, do you lose the left margin with Safari on your Macbook ?
Thanks, all. Dan yes w/ safari the margin disappears. We can live with it, have had worse browser issues in the past.
Joe, I just noticed that all comments on the Pelosi thread are numbered “1″.
New site looks good, and I think Joe is trying to let us know that we are all “number one” in his book when it comes to comments.
Thanks for making us feel special Joe…
Yeah … that is the one downside of trying different themes, each time you switch it makes changes that can’t be undone and I tried a few last night. Oh well, the price of progress.
Thanks! Have not tried safari but there is not a huge left margin in any case, different from the last theme.
Joe,
1. I like what you did, the site looks good. The old one was getting stale.
2. I like the gravatars
3. Kinder and gentler? What are you implying Joe? Jack is a really nice guy, and Dan is too so I don’t appreciate your insulting those two
how do you get a gravatar that doe not look like a hippie quilt from woodstock ?
Just click that link to go to gravatar.com, and follow the instructions. You can use a photo of yourself (I probably have one around here somewhere) or do something abstract like Jacob did.
joe, margins are fine in Safari on my 24″ display..
The new design is nice enough…
“Plus with the dawning of a new political era it might be the dawn of a new blogging era here, kinder, gentler, and perhaps more generally rational.”
…is just plain good comic relief!
