There is a big flaw, as you keep replying deeper into a thread the post gets narrower. This is a problem. Also this problem is across all browsers(IE, Firefox and Chrome).

I like the *Big Sky Country*. Better to keep it this way until you develop a taste for it.

In return for the pleasure of letting me sit on your face-lift, here is your slice of the morning hearsay :

"
controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans , would you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and incompetence?

If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM stock by 90% and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?

If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush to a play in NYC, would you have approved?

So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant

Can the links to the next and previous post that are now at the bottom of the comments be also put at the top of the page?

1-click to listen to an EconTalk podcast while reading through Cafe Hayek discussions would be a great feature.

I'm starting to think a linear format, with quick "replied to" and "replies" links would be easier to follow. To find new posts, I must read through the whole comments section.

A live link to EconTalk would be great.

Congratulations on the move! I think you will find the platform more empowering.

Looks nice, but the RSS feed no longer indicates whether an article was written by Don or by Russ. Please look into this!

Hi guys,
If you are still open to enhancements, may I suggest putting your full names, maybe in mixed case, so bloggers like myself can simply copy and paste your name when we link to a post.
Regards,
LL

The new format with ratings, monikers listed first, and reply trees greatly facilitates such ignoring.

Thanks for all the great improvements. I feel like I should be paying for this. Do you take anonymous donations?

Ahh, a new design and layout emerged. Very good!

I am having trouble adjusting to the new look. I like the structure, but it's too white... It's burning my eyes.

martinbrock — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 18:07:08 -0000

Thanks for the progressive reorganization. I like.

Hallelujah. Even with preview, I just can't seem to proofread often enough.

mmm... needs something more on top, in my opinion. Maybe a picture of the blog authors perhaps?

And, yeah, as Devin noted, I was wondering about the barrage of new posts that I had already seen.

Looks more hip too!

Like the new look.

Great work Cord!

Devin Snead — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 15:13:47 -0000

Looks great. I was wondering why my Google Reader showed 20 new posts from Cafe Hayek.

I caught wind of this change yesterday and I though my browser wasn't loading CSS right. Then I thought I liked it better this way. Then I realized it wasn't TypePad anymore.

Re: Cafe Face-Lift

Yes, it's a great framework for WordPress. I highly recommend it and if anyone is looking to escape TypePad, you should look at Foliovision, the company that facilitated this transition process. There's a link to them in the footer.

Thesis is spreading. Awesome.

cordblomquist — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 13:18:07 -0000

The design isn't final by any means. The main thing we want to accomplish was converting the blog from Typed to WordPress. Now we have a lot more flexibility in the design and functionality of the site. So, look forward to the design being improved in the weeks to come.

If you subscribe to comments you can either receive emails when someone adds to the thread or add the thread to your RSS reader.

Yes, comments can be edited for a short time after posting, so you needn't worry so much about little typos.
