A Call to Arms:

Whilst it might not be readily apparent, I have made significant changes to the underlying code that drives this website.

Despite weeks of local testing, it’s possible, likely even, that some bugs have slipped through the net.

If you discover something that’s not working, then please, please take the time to let me know about it. Your feedback would be very much appreciated.

Cheers!

I just have one word for you: “wow”.

I quite liked the old site and was concerned that a redesign wouldn’t be as good. I shouldn’t have worried.

I love this! You did a great job.

By the way, you still have not written anything more about the iceberg. Will those long-promised pages come now that the redesign is finished?

I’m so glad you like it mate. Thanks for the encouragement.

I will add the new Iceberg pages soon - but I am extremely busy at work at the moment, so I’m not going to commit to a date on it. Please bear with me.

Okay, okay! :-(

I still have some work to do on this and will constantly strive to make it better. I know that some of you were familiar and comfortable with the previous design, all I ask is that you give this one a chance…

If it turns out to be unpopular, then I’ll revert to previous design or try something new. I welcome suggestions, mockups, templates, etc.

I am extremely grateful for your feedback guys and I want to get this right - keep it coming.

OMG, I don’t visit for a little while and when I return you’ve changed everything. I did a double-take on the front page because I thought I’d entered the wrong address.
Anyway, I have to tell you, I LOVE THIS. This design is gorgeous, much nicer than the old one. And, you no longer need to fear Apple’s lawyers! :)
Ignore the negative comments, please, please, PLEASE don’t go back to old version.
Gotta go now, my boss has just walked come down to our floor (Why? He never comes down here).

I hope you didn’t find it too disconcerting Marie. I’m really glad you like the design (and yes, I’m happy to avoid a visit from the Apple legal beagles).

I can’t ignore the negative comments - I have to listen to everyone’s point of view, that’s the only way the site can evolve into something worthwhile.

What did your boss want? Do you still have a job?

Maybe he found out about all the hours Marie spends writing comments on blogs when she should be working? ;-)

I didn’t say he came to see me, I said he was on the floor. We don’t see him down here very often, so it was surprising that’s all.
And yes, I thought I should close down my Firefox just in case he came near my desk. :)
I still have my job. At least, if I don’t, nobody has let me know about it yet.
