LOL, at first I thought I was on the wrong website – like something about music. I definitely like the new style though, more personal indeed and the ribbons are awesome.

It’s quite staggering that changing one’s theme takes so much time and effort. Most internet users barely ever have a clue about the work webmasters and designers put in to make their web experience so pleasant.

Jt, I'm a fairly new reader of your blog and I was getting sick of your profile mug shot. =0 I kept coming back not because of your design but because of your articles (Beauty is skin deep). Anyway great new design, I like it a lot, and keep up the good work! [rq=2227,0,blog][/rq]Be kind to everyone

JT… beautiful work! It was truly a pleasure to work with you, and I hope the theme leaves your visitors very happy.

@Freddy, you are absolutely right! Sometimes even the most simple of changes make major differences in the experience for the visitor, and I’m glad that you were able to point out my oversight before it got out of hand!

Header image is very beautiful. The guitar and the feed button are a perfect couple. And I agree with Bena: it must have been bloody hard work. Hotéis e Pousadass last blog post..Hotéis e Pousadas em Antonina

One more thing…. you say to click the link for Erika, but it is impossible to see the link!!

I really have to say that the tendency to blend links into the text is really counter to the Web’s purpose, and bugs me. “Designers” love this sort of thing, but Users do not. Neither to usability experts. There is a reason for blue underlined links, and purple for visited links — not the least is helping people with disabilities navigate more easily.

Love the new design!

Now I can enlarge the font really big for reading ease, and it does not jump all over the place and misalign the columns like the old design.

Hey JT.

I like it! Just got your post in my email and came straight over to take a peek. It is good that you included some of your personal interests to the theme – this compliments the top class information you share with us all.

With that many pages, I can’t imagine it was the easiest job in the world changing things up but mine is one vote for the better!

Cheers.
