I turn my back for a few days and you guys turn the world topsy-turvey!

The new look is great. Attractive to the eye but very readable.

test comment.

We will want to be sure that McLemee sees this clarification.

Scott McLemee - 8/9/2005

You may well be right. Thanks for pressing the point.

I was arguing that his was the most unpleasant all along.

Jeremy Boggs - 8/9/2005

I'll take feedback, email me at jboggs AT gmu DOT edu.

Is anyone soliciting feedback on the HNN facelift? There are a number of usability issues raised by the new design.

Ralph E. Luker - 8/9/2005

I take that to mean that, prior to its makeover, HNN was the most unpleasant looking site on the net; and, now, with its makeover, McLemee claims, at one forty two, to have the most unpleasant looking site, ... unless you can help him find "one forty three."

I'm not following: now he's dead last?

Ralph E. Luker - 8/9/2005

There's still a lot of tinkering going on, so they should get uncocked.
