  • I like the redesign *but* please bring back "Back to Top"

    I gathered trepidation about the redesign from listening to the Gabfest podcast the weekend before the new look debuted.

  • Two suggestions

    Two quick suggestions: 1) Get rid of the mulitple page articles! We live in a broadband world. There is really no need for mutiple page articles. You risk higher article abandonment rates with multiple pages. 2) When you click on one of the blogs, it launches a new browser window. A real pain in the rear. New windows these days invariabley mean ...
