I'm late to the game as far as commenting on the new site design, but here goes anyway. I appluad your efforts, and appreciate the work, thought, and time that obviously went into it. However. I find the new format difficult to read, and greatly dislike the copius amount of scrolling required to take it all in. Basically I'd say that the design in and of itself is pleasing, but for a news-type blog, not well-suited for content delivery. Please please make the old version available for those of us who loved it. Sadly, I find myself glossing over boingboing...
I confess to not reading all of the comments but several of the initial comments mentioned the large font size. Maybe it was changed already, but on FF/Linux it is now one size too small to be comfortably readable. Alas . . . consacepo...
