Kevin Cornell is a morally bankrupt, dirty-dirty man. How A List Apart could lower itself to employ such a lecher is beyond the scope of my imagination. Oh happy day!

174 Redirects would be nice
I’ve followed link from site older than ALA4 and got http://www.alistapart.com/topics/dom/. I was expecting you brilliant guys to have automatic redirects from all old links.
Oh, and there is “click here” link above comment box! How lame! ;)

176 bug
It is lovely indeed, but you’ve got a small bug in registration. although email is listed as optional, if you leave that field blank you are given the error that “that email is taken”
cheers on the launch!

Nice site and all, but in the name of accessibility I think you have chosen a far too small font size. Especially code is unreadable…

178 Label
Nice work. :) I was just wondering, since ALA strongly promotes accessibility and clean semantic code, why you didn’t use any labels for your “Search ALA” field?
“Include discussions” is just a in your form. What about <fieldset> and <legend>? (also missing these things on your registration form, though you did implement labels there: http://www.alistapart.com/comments/ala40/signup)
Was this left out purposely or was it merely an oversight (e.g. in a rush to get the new site online)? Not trying to be too nitpicky… :)

179 Keep up this good work!
I always loved ALA. If the content-related level of articles won’t be lower, I’ll love you much more than it is now :) Good luck.

180 Rails CMS? Must see now!
Like others have said before me… Could we please, no I mean PLEASE see some source on how the Rails CMS was built? There’s a sore lack in the webdev-space for this kind of progra atm. We might be rolling our own here at mopo as in Norway , but would prefer to build on the work of others (we are a free as in liberty type of company).
