Re: Random site redesign thoughts (none / 1)

"someone" mentioned putting the rec list/recent diary list on every page. Personally I like that idea, as I mostly seem to see them when they show up when I'm posting a comment. Like right now.

It makes page lay-out sort of awkward as it is ... though a proper clean-up of the page souce might fix that.

That was meant to be in reply to your comment about the logo, above.

Well, I had that feeling too, so maybe it makes your life easier if you can define what size/shape/format the logo should be in?

Why don't we just revoke (actually, reverse) Colman's first comment that this is not about the graphic design? There's a lot of untapped talent here.

Re: Random site redesign thoughts (4.00 / 3)

I like the graphic design the colour scheme. It's simple, does the job, and it's free of clutter.

I hate most recent web site design with a passion, because it's so blatant and intrusive. I think the best design you can have is design you don't notice at all, and ET wins big on that score.

It's better than dKos and the Oil Drum, because the fixed width of dKos is annoying, and the Oil Drum looks too big and gawky in comparison.

See? That's just what I meant.

Re: Random site redesign thoughts (4.00 / 2)

Keep it simple.

Doing a quick scan of the Front Page there are 3 blocks of information:

Front Page Diaries
User Diaries - Recommended, Debate, Recent
Banner - Navagation Aids

You can add two more blocks before the site will start to create information overload for the new or casual user.
