As you can see, we've done a site remodel here at Rosenblog, thanks to the very talented Philip Wright of Portland. You'll see a logo/link to his web design and graphics firm, Mystic Sludge, near the top of my right-hand column.

We're still ironing out out a few minor glitches. What I've noticed so far is all archive-related. First, a very small handful of the links in my stories don't work, but only ones that link back to one of my own earlier blog posts. Most of the links in my posts DO work, as they are nearly all to outside sources, such as online newspaper aticles, etc. (At least they do for me when I'm viewing the site. If not for you, please let me know). Second, if you click on one of the titled blog posts in either the "recent comments" or recent entries" section, you won't get exactly where you want to be either. And the monthly archives at the bottom and permalinks aren't working exactly right either.

I just spoke to Phil, who'll be working some of his coding magic later this afternoon and hopefully resolving these issues.

So.....please provide any additional feedback in the comments section of this post. I'm eager to hear what you think; what you like, or don't; and and if there any other problems you are encountering.

While there's clearly some fine-tuning to which we'll be attending shortly, I have to say, I'm very pleased with the overall look; it's a lot sleeker than the clunky old off-the-self Moveable Type style template I'd had from the get-go.

UPDATE 9:32 PM, PST. Alright. Phil took care of the above items earlier this afternoon, and we just have a few remaining design and user issues, none of which should get in your way of enjoying and utilizing the site for the time being. If you want to leave comments, do please access the comments capabilities, on current items, from the main page, not the archives. Archived items still have a few issues to be resolved, including comments and masthead, but we're well on our way to insuring impeccable interfacing and common graphics, across the board, in the new format. By Weds. a.m., hopefully, every last thing should be in place. A few design tweaks may still follow. Anyway, can we hear it for Phil? OK!

UPDATE 2: Weds., Feb. 9, 10:00 A.M. - Looks like we're ALL set on the remaining graphics commonality, and blog functionality issues. The last part meaning you can again leave comments at archived items, just as in the past. Only it all looks so much nicer!

The picture on the masthead, by the way, is one I took myself, on the beach in Bandon, Oregon.

One other note: the links to my published and online freelance writing samples (which used to clutter up the right-hand column) have been moved to a page accessed by one of the links right under the masthead, titled "Consulting/Triad Project." I'll be adding some explanatory text there about the services I'm offering (writing projects, counsel on editorial strategy & issues advocacy, organizational blog consulting) and what my strategic partners Philip Wright and Jeff Brazill bring to the table (web and graphic design, and database expertise, respectively).
