Wow! What a nice surprise.

Looks good on my screen. Everything "in order" and blends well together.
Take the rest of the day off, Dave. Eat ice cream or something to celebrate your day's labor.

I agree What she said -- just noticed it about 2 minute ago (haven't had time to play on PC today), and the clean, cool look is awesome.

I just love the whole look of the website today. Hetty's beautiful banner and the top article by bennysplace, with that luscious flower photo, add a lot too.

I'm enjoying the new look also! Hurray! The footer looks much better with the larger font and the blue background. It gives a better finish to the end of the page and helps the reply post area stand out more, when before it just all ran together.

Dave, as I have been typing my post, I noticed the time is not changing at the top of the page.

Carol, the clock doesn't change until you load another page. It always shows what time it was when you loaded the page you are currently looking at.

Definitely. That will always work. It's how I get back home, too.

Sorry, my mistake. I was messing around and accidentally reverted it. And actually, when I saw that it was reverted, my thought was "yuck, this is the old look!"

I feel like we just moved into the future with this new layout! Hurray!

I love the fact that it welcomes me (knows it is me ha-ha) and shows me the date and time. Very nicely done. What I do miss is that the bar under the banner that lists Home, Forums and such used to be lots more colorful and noticable. I would like to see it pop more than it does now. But really the new design is very classy.

Yeah, I thought about that after I walked away for a minute - duh!

I always use the logo to get back to the home page, too!
