…or is the site not only running faster, but looks and feels pretty damn good, too?

Not bad at all.Report
I’m not terribly fond of fixed-width presentation, but I recognize its value when it’s done properly. I like the non-archived but summarized posts at the bottom of the page, and I’m glad you kept both sidebars (which is weird, since I usually abhor sidebars).
Don’t know who on the League is responsible for the presentation/back-end decision making, but I approve of the current iteration of the results.Report
Erik does all the tough behind-the-scenes work. He’s done a great job on this one.Report
I generally like the new site and layout a lot, but I’m not so down with the “archives” section with just the first few sentences of whatever of the posts from yesterday below the posts from today. I “only” get the chance to check the site out once every couple of days, so I find myself clicking on a lot of links to catch up. I would prefer a few days at least or even a week of excerpted or full entries and then either the interviews section to return or else otherwise be easy to find; i.e. be a category in itself. The wideness is great actually. I have normal vision, so I appreciate not having to move my thumbs all the time when I’m using my iPhone, and I appreciate not having to go searching for new batteries for my wireless mouse so I can read the rest of a particular article.Report
A few days of posts might drag the entire page out a really long ways. Actually I think we are able to show more posts in this format than in the previous. But maybe we could figure something else out that meets in the middle somewhere.Report
I don’t think having a (really) long front page is a detriment, especially since most posts are text only.Report

Some day I’ll get used to the fact that some people use their handheld telecommunications device as a primary interface to teh ‘webs.Report
It sure does smell alluring…or maybe that’s my wife’s cooking. Either way, a successful design.Report
It’s a transparent change.
I know that we used to have a different design… but for the life of me, this feels like the old one.
Only with some improvements that I can’t put my finger on.
Well done.Report
Stole the words from my mouth.Report
I’m really glad everyone likes it. And my next project is integrating better mobile support.Report
