Out of the Blue

[Oct 25, 2003, 1:17 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

As discussed in this space and in the forums yesterday, in order to really be able to test this new format it was time to just take the plunge at put it up live. Feel free to offer feedback about the design in general, ways you feel it could be tweaked, and as important as anything, please let me know if there are any problems, as there are surely some browser/OS combos that it has not been tested on. Depending on how all this goes, I may or may not be switching back and forth between the old and new formats as we work through all this.

From the moment I saw Sugashack's redesign, I had a feeling Blue would do something soon. Here it is. And it's not so great. The header is really really bad, it completely ruins the symmetry of the site. The rest of the stuff looks good though. I like the font change and the bullets. The huge frame ad I have been seeing a lot lately and can't say that I like it. It's your site, you should have the final say regarding the ads you want displayed on your site. That being the case, you should have something more symmetrical designed with special areas in it for ads of a certain size/shape. That would improve the site much more. Ads aren't always bad, it's just when they are instrusive or ruin the aesthetics of a site that they become a problem. If you can overcome these problems, then the site would be much more enjoyable to view with the new design.
