I agree a redesign of a website causes some angst. It forces on your readers a change in their routine viewing habits. Sort of like moving Battle Star Gallactica from Friday to Thursday. What I donโt like in your redesign is the extra work you require of me. I use to go to your home page and with a minimal amount of down scrolling. I could see the different articles or items you highlighted for that day at almost one shot. With the Ad column space you added on the right the days items are all on the left and require me to scroll down more.

I often sneak into the Corner from work using a text-only browser. The new site looks looks a lot worse than the old one in text-only mode. I realize this is not a concern for most of your readers or yourselves, itโs just that I would feel unconservative if I didnโt find something to complain about with the change. I also suspect the new design would look lousy translated into Sanskrit and carved into clay tablets. You need to work on that, too.

โฆis impressive โ Iโm sure it took a lot of work.
I suppose I am a special case โ 72 years old, eyesight going, but on the โnet 15 hours/day anyway.
Iโve had trouble from the beginning with the quoted paragraphs within the corner posts โ I cut and paste them to notepad โ no big deal But I do wonder, I never have any trouble with where I am, so I wonder about the supersized letters for โThe Cornerโ โ OTOH, the standard type font seems a little smaller โ more cutting/pasting.
But of course, itโs the content that counts. The corner is just the most interesting stuff Iโve read in my whole life. What a time to live.
I remember when they went to twice/month, and the Bulletin โ then even that was dropped. For years I used to wonder if youโd ever restart the Bulletinโฆ.

..I spent my day on the ultimate timewaster: using a search of The Corner to find and collect all the timewasters that have ever been posted.
Wow.
Iโm kinda exhausted for not having done a lick of work todayโฆ

Ms. K-Lo,
My first attempt at the new Corner search function reveals that Andrew Stuttaford beat you to the historical first ABBA subject line:
Abba At The White House
Author: Andrew Stuttaford
Date: Thursday, October 20, 2005
Iโm not sure which is worse; there being two ABBA subject lines in the Corner or it being the first thing for which I searched!

when I get fired for spending too much of my work day reading NRO, can I get a job?
