1. Not bad, but I liked your last design better. The faded navigation tabs, in particular, look odd to me, perhaps because their edges end before the search/email forms immediately underneath. The title image, too, appears pixelated on my LCD monitor.

2. Wow, you might be the first person to say that you like the previous design better. I liked it too, but too many people complained about it.

   I’m going to work on the images on this design some more to see if I can clean them up, and I’ll see where else I can enhance things to pull it all together. I’ve been throwing this design together between trying to enjoy myself in Germany so some things were a little rushed.

3. This design is much better in my opinion. It doesn’t quite all “flow” together graphically, but I think it’s much improved.

   My main comment though, is that I highly recommend Media Temple’s hosting. They’re hosting most of my sites and I’ve been extremely impressed.

4. ‘It doesn’t quite all “flow” together graphically’

   Yes, well, being that I’m not a designer, I must admit… I’m really bad at this. I don’t even do mockups, so I put little pieces together as I go. I’m trying to fix things here and there to see if I can make it all fit, but chances are it will still be a little funky in the end.

   And right now, I promise, I’m going to apply font-family:inherit to the textareas. Courier is really ugly.

5. Ironic, we just made the switch to them over the weekend from Dreamhost too - I had monthly drops in service, and the last 2 weeks had been up and down to our annoyance. So far, so good.

7. I look the new look and feel. I think it’s a little easier on the eye and easier to read. The only thing I would change is adjusting the comment section. Maybe, make the font size smaller and maybe a lighter gray, where it differentiates itself from the rest of the post. That would be the only change, I would make. Overall, I think Christian did a great job with the new look. I hope that is helpful.

8. Sorry… in the last post, correction: “I like the new look and feel.”

9. Much prefer the old site. I think for a gallery based site, 3 quarters of the home page should have nice big thumbnails, you have the thumbnails but I would 2/3 additional columns of thumbnails. For me it doesn’t come together too well, which I think others have mentioned. It has some good elements, like the typo.

10. Lee: it is actually my intention to take some of the focus away from the gallery since this is not just a gallery site. Galleries are a dime a dozen nowadays and while I can update the gallery quite often, I would like to shift more attention to the news and the resources. I hope that this new design does more to that respect; if so, it would be an improvement.

    As for bringing the look together, I need suggestions. I don’t have the design eye to see it myself, and I won’t be able to talk to my design associate for a while. When I do talk to her, she’ll probably hit me over the head for being so daft and fix all the issues here.

11. I love your site (and liquid layouts generally), but I think of
    http://thepiratebay.org/
    every time I look at the masthead.

12. ditto the pirate bay………

    I kind of liked the previous design a bit more than this, but maybe it will grow on me.
