So if you hadn’t already noticed, there have been some changes around these here parts, but … uh … not much, really. Besides the look of the new layout, the primary reason I switched wasn’t because of aesthetics, but because the new layout is responsive, meaning the layout responds to whatever you’re using to browse the site.
Since most of the complaints about the site were regarding the fact that it was a pain to view on mobile/tablet … well … now you guys can shut it.
Yay, me!

1) Site is now mobile/tablet/whatever friendly. By far the most requested thing.
2) Most views and most commented widgets on the sidebar for those who want to bandwagon jump.
3) You can now subscribe to whole comment threads instead of just when you’re responded to. Another request fulfilled. A man of the people.

In reality though, you’re all victims, because now it’s easier for me to spew my verbal diarrhea at you.
If the new layout doesn’t work for you on mobile/tablet, let me know, because I’m going to be madder than when Don Mattingly bunts with nobody out and a runner at second. Those of you who follow me on Twitter understand.

Seriously though, go find us on all the social media stuff too. If you don’t, you hate America.

That’s all folks.
Heh@oppa gangnam style at bottom of page.
Good looks on the redesign.
This is the comment management system you wanted, yes?
Ya, looks good!
Finally with the mobile, you caveman.
:-P
Yes, yes.
All the graphics make the site load slower tho.
How much slower? Theoretically, caching should help with that.
See, that’s what I thought too but for whatever reason, the caching isn’t doing a whole lot.
As for how much slower, I can’t really quantify it, just seems longer with all the pictures on the sidebar now.
I dunno.
Internet in Hawaii isn’t all that great, but it only takes me about two seconds or so to load the site in Chrome.
Just tested it on Pingdom, says it’s 2.73 seconds, and that’s without caching.
Shouldn’t be problematic, though if it does get slow for me or I get enough complaints, I’ll try to streamline shit.
Ya, on the computer it’s no big deal and I think part of the problem might have been on this shitty old ipad I was using.
On the phone, I load the mobile site which is all good but the iPad doesn’t seem to identify itself as a mobile device and tries to load the computer version of the site. Anyway, no big deal.
Now using 10 less pictures, so that should help as well.
