The imagery is coming back, probably around the time the season started. I underestimated how much work turning the site around is year to year. I’m usually more in favor of the big splash, but when that didn’t work, I opted to go piece meal instead. We’ll see, everything I do is an experiment anyway!

Nice clean feel as far as visuals go. Only thing I miss is that there seems to be very little in the way of the traditional “Yankee” imagery you threw out there before. But that’s life, I guess…

The news style home page is nice. I tried to do the same thing once with my home page, but I wasn’t able to do up anything nearly as nice as what you’ve got. I never picked your site as one which was “news-paper-like”, but it works very well!

I love the whole setup in general, it may take a while to get used to it, but glad to see it back…

The basic idea is more magazine-esque reading on the homepage. The tabs across the top will be the main stories and the columns beneath will be split into various categories for easy scanning. It’ll be easier when the new guy starts since, i hope, we’ll have twice the content and need a way to show it all. Plus I like being different.

Don’t worry, it’ll be a snap for a quick lady like yourself!

It feels like a whiskey sort of season no?

It most certainly does!

Alix – Thanks, much appreciated! Once I am done jumping up and down on my server, I will hightail it to the whiskey barn. It feels like a whiskey sort of season no?

Simon – Thanks man! Still have some clean up work to do, but I just wanted to get the framework up and running. More goodness to come shortly.

Rod – CSS was the least of my problems. I learned more about PHP loops in the past week then I care to share!

Birrell – thanks for the compliment…Seattle eh? I’ll be in your city next week. Care to recommend any place I can go in thr 48 hours I am there?

Site looks good from here in Seattle. Here’s hoping I don’t need as much alcohol as last season.
