Thoughts?
I particularly like the sidebar with the additional image, it works better now that the strip is less er... strip like.
There's a classic something about the old design, but it's nice to keep things fresh.
New site design
Here's a few suggestions:October 22, 2007: Still experimental
If you have any thoughts about the site design, this would be a good time to share them.
1: Move the strip's date under the strip itself.
2: Move the Dragon logo at the top right corner where the current "strip date" sits.
3: Restore a few old pages we've been requesting for ages now.
Other than that, I like it.
The site layout is REALLY cool, but I have a few thoughts which might improve the overall layout:
- Have red navigation buttons on both the top and bottom of the strip.
- Move the strip date and title underneath the "Ozy&Millie" logo.
-Maybe moving the Keenspot newsbox box? (not sure where) It would look nice if all the text on the right was together.
-Maybe this is just personal preference on my part, but I think the navagation text on the right would look better on the left hand side of the page.
That's my 2 cents! Overall, yay for new layout!!!

Color
I'm finding it hard to see the forest for the huge blue tree in my face. That blue seems like more of an accent color to me than a background. I also really liked having the strip centered. Finally, I second (third? fourth?) the request to make old links into the archives work again. And to bring back the search function. And maybe to make available a big bad list of all the strips regardless of year. When I'm looking for a strip, I don't generally remember the year; I remember what it was about, and maybe something in the title.
I stand by my comments in the previous topic about this new design (when it was preliminary).
Though the white text actually looks fine on this monitor, I was using a terrible one when I posted that.I like:
-The background colour. White is just too plain.
-The navigation on the side.
-The title. A tagline, while not nessesary, is no big problem for me, and I like the look of the text here and on the navigation links.
I dislike:
-The strip date and title being up in the corner there.
-The fact that there's no archive navigation buttons at the bottom of the strip. Having them at the top is fine too, but I think there should be another set at the bottom.
-The white text doesn't quite look right on the background color, especially the smaller text. I'm being extremely nitpicky here, but I'm thinking a slightly lighter- or darker-coloured box surrounding the text area might be an improvement.
OK. pants it. I lied. It's drum and bass. What you gonna do?
I still think the red logo would look good. I'm also having the same problem as before with the thin white horizontal bars at the top and bottom of the comic, but I can probably live with that.
Other than that, it's wonderful.

The improved-improved version is ohsomuch better than the improved version. At least now the two shades of blue aren't so close. I still think it's a bit too blue, though (and that's saying a lot, as blue is my favorite color). Still, I like it better than the beta, and better than the old site. It's not perfect, but what is?
