32 Loving It

Every now and again my favorite online magazine is redesigned and I am taken aback by it’s beauty in organized thought and aesthetics. Welcome back.

A List Apart is now absolutely gorgeous! I always went to it as just a resource, never thinking of it as eyecandy. But now, wow, now it is both. Simplicity is sublime, and this design is sublime.

Okay, it’s designed for 1024×768 rather than 800×600 (or fluid). But that does not really detract from the design, merely the right of the publisher to cater to the audience.

The small touches on the links, the beautiful typography, and the newspaper look all really make this design come together and invite reading. Amazing job to the team that put this together.

36 Excellent

Lovely. Congrats on the redesign. Live comment preview is a nice touch.

37 Yes, it's lovely

Very fine work! It feels so light and airy—and live preview is amazing!

We simply must see some Ruby on Rails writings very soon; some of us get PHP, but Ruby is another beast indeed.

38 Fantastic Stuff

Good to see ALA back with a new look. I think most people have said everything there is to say, but major kudos to the sexy new design – some top class CSS from Eric as usual.

I look forward to your future articles with glee and hope that there is any remote chance of you bringing An Event Apart to England any time in the future.

All the best

40 Two problems + one

I generally like the new fresh look, but…

1. I don’t really see why everyone in the comments above are so forgiving for the 1024×768 issue? I think it’s a problem.

It’s not that I can’t handle viewing on that resolution, but I choose not to. Because the font looks really small on my monitor and I choose to scale the page. Happily Opera manages scaling really well and fit-to-page-width feature removes the horizontal scrollbar problem.

1. Visited and unvisited links look exactly the same. Why isn’t there a destinction? Not that I would claim all links should be underlined and blue and visited ones purple. But removing the ability to see where you have already been, is simply reducing this site’s usability.

Happily again, I can choose to override the visited link colors with my own style sheet.

1. (Finally a real problem.) When I tried to register and left the not required e-mail field empty, the site told me “This e-mail address is already in use.”
