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.
Not bad at all.Report

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
