testing…

It gets a thumbs-up from me.

Simpler and cleaner-looking than the previous layout.

Heh didn’t this place get a rejig only a few months ago?

Now looks like a standard blog and less newspapery – is this what you were going for?

I like it. Something needs to be put in that big space in the bottom right though.

So you won’t be featuring scantily-clad photos of LibCon’s top bloggers then?

Seriously, no one needs that.

Argh! Not a fan of having ‘other news’ in the middle… too eye catching.

Lovely. As always.

Just as ugly as the previous redesign, imo

I like it. I had lots of problems getting onto the previous site which is probably because my computer is very old (4 years!) which also means that I need to get a new one.

So, at risk of completely rerailing this thread, what should I buy? I carry it around the world several times a years so it needs to be light, hard-wearing and cheap. I don’t use it for anything other than writing and internet access so I don’t care about games and that, but I don’t want too small a screen or keyboard.

Any suggestions?

I have one of these. It’s fab. Really light and portable, and has lots of neat tricks.

[11] I’ve noticed the site has been slow lately, although it seems fine to-day and my kit is OK (machine a couple of months old), internet connection copes with everything else… hopefully the problem, whatever it was, is in the past.

I think the new design is cleaner – whether it’s better (fitter for purpose) really depends on how many threads a day Sunny is planning to run. People just don’t scroll down…

What I’d really like (dunno if there are technical/cost problems associated with it, though) would be a preview button. Failing that, an idiot’s guide to how to use some common html tages. Even better, both.

I prefer the old look, didn’t have any problems with it myself, but agree with someone about featured stories in the middle. They look a bit odd floating there…

Like the new design.
Also quicker – had big problems with old one, even with good spec machine and fast connection.
Though oddly enough never had problem accessing LC on mobile phone.
PP was/is always fast, though have problem accessing the PP comments via mobile phone.
It’s all too complicated for me…

Hmmmm, looks fine, but its still very , VERY slow, on my computer anyway. I think you still have bandwidth issues, or whatever.
