Aaron, all I can say is WOW. The people you worked with are obviously very talented, and you have adopted a design that really reflects the quality of the work that you have been producing since the beginning of this blog.

I will have to spend some time to really get a sense of everything, but at first glance there is a professional amount of polish put on everything. But nothing is overdone. Great work.

Oh, and also, thank you for adding a Favicon. I love lining up distinctive Favicons with no text info along my bookmarks bar on Firefox. I just go down the line clicking them, and seeing an icon that I know belongs to your blog rather than “some blogger blog” is very helpful.

Keep up the great work.

Love the new site. It presents the content well and allows the reader to focus on your words. Thanks for adding the recent comments in the sidebar. I was one of those who requested that addition and it helps to keep up on which posts are being actively discussed.

It looks a lot more professional than the Blogger site. The content remains great as ever.

I don’t remember what the old site looked like, so I can’t compare. The new site looks slick, though. I checked it out both in Firefox (latest version) and IE (well, an IE tab in Firefox thanks to an add-in), and it looks good in both…although more professional in Firefox.

I will say that the font in Firefox is a teensy bit hard to read on the screen, especially the sidebars that are smaller and in italics. While the IE version looks more amateur, the letters in that font are bigger and easier to read.

Well done, Aaron, and good luck!
