I've talked about the Content Management System that the rest of the website is going to be in. Well, the Ledge will be separate from that. It's going to continue to be in its own software application. But as you can see, the color scheme for the first page has changed a bit in an attempt to match the new design.

I will point to the new design, but I know some of you devils will be unhappy with it.

Also, don't anyone (like Chili) start prematurely thinking I'm neglecting the original band members, because I plan to put their pictures in the big portal slot too. It's a work in progress people!

I like the new home page and the design/layout. A real improvement...... I appreciate it takes time and money to achieve this.

Default Oh mah GAWD!!!

I am sorry - since a lot of thought obviously has gone into this (and I don't want to offend anybody who has worked hard on this) - but I don't like the new look at all, and I absolutely HATE that brown colour!

Please change it back again

Ms Moose

I think it's sweeeeeeet. It's been a while since we've had a change. I'm excited to see how it all ends up!

Thanks for all your hard work!

Nope, it's too late. Everything is already written in stone. I don't think there will be another change (color and design wise) for a long, long time. Hopefully, content will always continually change.

So, not even the illegible text? Those aren't petty complaints, those are very practical ones.

In graphic design class, the first lesson I was taught was: make sure your text is always easy to read.

Thanks for your efforts, but I must say that the light brown thread titles are difficult to read against the white screen, and this font isn't as readible as the previous one.

I don't like it either, but I also understand that it's impossible to please all the people all the time, so the work and effort are appreciated. It seems that there are plenty of members who love it. I just personally hate this particular color scheme, and don't think these colors represent Fleetwood Mac at all. I would never think of associating these colors with the group, but that's just my opinion. And I also agree that some of the text color is too much the same as the background it sits on. Yellowish or tan background with gold text is not at all good for viewing. But many thanks for the efforts. I can live with it either way, but it's just not my cup of tea.
