How so?

How so?

I am honored that you have asked me to elaborate on my opinion.

On the beta version I find that the type is too large, and the sans serif face, along with all the bold, really makes the screen look very crowded. True, it is sufficiently functional to see what's there, but it is confusing to the eye amd not so immediately apparent what is a post headline and what is copy -- especially with the body copy of the post in bold type. I actually find it very distracting.

I always thought (even before the Beta) that the current version was extremely elegant. There is lots of white space, and the post headlines clearly stand-out because of the serif type face in the smaller size.

The new version is aestheticlly pleasing - quite the work of art. Your efforts are to be commended and all features seem to be working. Not being able to live without the breaking news sidebar, I inserted it immediately upon trying the beta version. (When the first plane crashed into the World Trade Center, I learned of it here - in breaking news.) Personally, I'd like to see a touch more space available in this third column for easier reading of items in the right hand sidebar.

Thank you, sir, for a wonderful site.
