Flipping the switch on a new site design

This email was sent to users with the following roles: member

So what's new?

I switched the navigation and blogging tools menus to the top of the sidebar on the left. Since they are collapsible, you can just open and close them as you need.

Hate it? Love it? I want to know it all.

Before you go on hating though, I want you all to know that this was more than just an exercise in designing a Drupal site. I am trying to find add more space to make more visible the work and interaction of regular members. I want to find ways of making visible the way people interact in the site --so it's not just the front-pagers who get featured and highlighted. Â

Here's what I feel about it at the moment: It's busy. I do like the new molotov-guy design. I do think that the actual logo (the word culturekitchen) could be much, much smaller.

What do you think?

I like it! Smiling

Smaller font but much tidier looking to me. No overlapping columns.

I actually increased the size of the font. I like it small, but whatever. Most people don't know they can increase the size of the font of a site with their browser.

It's weird but, even though the page has more stuff on it, it looks cleaner. Having the opening and closing blocks certainly helps.

Words to live by

"I must admit moreover that it may not be easy, in every possible case, to trace the line of separation between the rights of religion and the Civil authority with such distinctness as to avoid collisions and doubts on unessential points. The tendency of a usurpation on one side or the other, or to a corrupting coalition or alliance between them, will be best guarded by an entire abstinence of the Government from interference in any way whatever, beyond the necessity of preserving public order, and protecting each sect against trespass on its legal rights by others."

— -- James Madison, letter to Reverend Adams, in Robert L. Maddox, Separation of Church and State: Guarantor of Religious Freedom (1987) p. 39
