Kirk, it's great how much time you're taking on this site which is a haven for us all. I love this site.<BR>
As for the changes, home page wise, I still prefer the one we have now; but on the new one, the best part is having the 'sign in' and other links for the board, etc., on the top right of the page. <BR>
I prefer the layout of the intro and page one poems the way they are right now, compared to the new one.<BR>
Just my thoughts, hope you don't mind. Do appreciate you very much! :) I'm sure everything will look great once you are done.

Kirk, I gave it some time and went back and looked at it again, and now it's looking better. I guess we just have to get used to it, weird seeing the changes since we've had it this way for so long. So please ignore the earlier comment. I'll keep looking at the new page till I get used to it :)

It's funny, as I played with various designs and took some suggestions from friends, I realize the latest idea has some elements in common with that old pastel look of the Blender:<BR>

Mostly the arrangement, and use of blocking squares...

kirk: the pastel page was way too overwhelming (sorry, i wasn't around then to have the nostalgia). that page is almost sensory overload with the colors.  the layout though is good and i can see the resemblance.<BR>

Thanks Violet and Aparajita, I Want The Moon was a front page pick from the page Kirk pulled up to show us what the old blender looked like. I had not seen it in a long time. <BR>

I spoke to Rens and the Captain tonight. They were headed to a club to hear music. She has had her system down with this god awful hot weather. But believe it or not (Ripleys) it is raining right now. Of course I did a rain dance earlier. We were just desperate for rain, it has been skirting all around us and this heat has been unbearable. Rens will be back to write and comment soon says she. Hello to all from her.<BR>

Violet how old is the baby now? These are the best years of all. The first five are simply remarkable for a child. They were my heaven with Sam.<BR>
