It's here! Finally!

I didn't really expect the new design to be this different from the old one. Interesting! (and a new article on styling navigation with CSS...)

The CSS navigation is interesting, but I find it YAH (yet another hack) that would be better solved (in the future, granted) by better CSS options or SVA. You can read that (accurately!) as "Suzanne hates all the extra work involved", heh. Laughing out loud

I'm pleased to see a more bloglike format, but I'd like to be able to access the comments directly.

And I think the logo looks like we're being given the finger, ha ha! Wink

Seriously, glad its back and producing some quality articles!

I don't know why but I was expecting something more radical. Must be my interpretation of the abilities of the folks over at ALA. I too would prefer a liquid design than the fixed width one.

Fixed width is the new liquid design. An emphasis on typographical sensibilities instead of pure real estate. However, I would have preferred a LARGER fixed with. so less scrolling. Since the audience is web developers, and we typically have larger displays, moving to a slightly larger fixed width would have been a better choice, I think.
