@Sheri, that’s coming, I promise. We’re having some issues with the feeds. If you hit the link at the bottom of the page on dooce.com, that lets you know when the Daily Photo, Daily Chuck and Daily Style have been updated, but does not yet include a thumbnail (also coming soon).

Looks great. I’m sad that I can’t use an RSS reader to access the Daily Chuck, though.

We just moved to Drupal and so far I absolutely love it.

After going through the headache of migrating my own site from Movable Type to Wordpress last February, with a redesign thrown in, I completely sympathize with the sweaty armpits that Heather alluded to. Good job getting it done so smoothly.

Love Dooce’s new site. Great job.
Drupal is an excellent CMS (yeah! open-source software).

I think Heather should take you to a spa and pamper you after all that hard work.

p.s. Loved the purple-black theme and new addition of daily style. You guys rock the blogosphere.

I think the font size is fine…as Tim said, you can make it larger as needed. But I do think the font on the black section at the very end of the page…with the most recent archives…needs to have a whiter or brighter font for more contrast. The gray is lovely and tasteful but some of us have 48 year old eyes and need contrast LOL.

I didn’t understand anything you wrote, Jon, but I love how excited you sound about it. and how lovely you talk about Heather. (Eh…obviously I’m just here for the love, the laughter, and Leta!)
And to Heather, it looks very striking…LOVE the ‘Dooce’ logo. Again though, in my opinion the white on black could use a bit more contrast there too. (Probably just that I don’t have a huge monitor and spanking new computer though, huh? And old eyes, very old eyes.)

Mae, (and anyone else who has trouble reading small fonts)

Hold down the control key while pressing the + key to expand the text. That should fix your problem. The minus key does the opposite.

Jon,

Drupal’s a good choice if you decide to go the CMS route, but be careful, it can run slow ’cause its PHP. Caching is key–if you decide to learn any aspect of the system, learn caching.

Okay, I already wrote Heather re the change but oh heck, I might as well go right to the source!
I don’t know computer programming gooblygook. What I do know, is that I like visiting Dooce almost daily. But now I can’t read it. The font in the posts is too small and sort of blurryish but, really just ridiculously small. The font on the Google ads are at least two, maybe three times bigger. I simply will not be able to continue visiting this site without a change in the font! Otherwise, the site looks great but PLEASE ENLARGE THAT FONT. Please and thankyou.
