Hi Annie,

How’s the weather in lurkdom? I hope it’s warm. : )

You see Thesis designs everywhere because it’s SO customizable and the SEO under the hood is terrific.

Let us know if it looks better. I’ll see if Dave’s aware.

Thanks!

Thanks, Bamboo! Superb is right. Dave makes me jealous with his eye.

Hi Carla,

Yeah, it is a lot like writing in a fancy notebook, down to the comment section. Nice to write on and read.

Thanks, Steph!

Yeah, it hits all the right notes. It wasn’t the direction we were going at all. Then Dave got hit with some inspiration from a funny yet surprising place, and BAM! we had this new, jaw-dropping version.

Thanks, Dave. We’re just getting started! We’re gonna make 2010 wear a dog collar. : )

Hi Guys,

Popping out of lurkdom for a moment – I do like the new design! (What’s up with all the “Thesis” designs lately, though? Seriously, I am seeing them everywhere I turn!)

But anyway, on my screen – widescreen MacBook Pro running Firefox 3.5 – the header doesn’t go all the way across. The image stops on the right side about the middle of the “We can help you . . .” box and it’s just whitespace in the corner. Looks a bit odd. Otherwise, it’s a great design. Nice, clean, calming.

Good job!

I love the new look! Very inspiring. It makes me think of free writing in my Moleskine notebook.

Happy New Year!

I totally love it! Really. This is the best design of all of them. It just makes me think: literary, books, and even fairy-tales. It makes me think publishers. Very, very cool.
