Those across the pond have given us a spit and polish overnight. We’re not yet without a few bugs and that, but what do you think?

A link would be helpful.

It doesn’t look much different to me – have I missed anything? I fear change.

Tidier, so less busy. more space for news with smaller menus, will soon get used it it, much like we all did with the ‘new’ facebook….

I don’t fear change, as long as the change is needed, not just for the sake of change.

Sadly I cannot detect any changes, probably due to my unfamiliarity with the previous design. I should read it more but there is just SO MUCH TO READ.

Ooo – problems… teething problems I suspect.

1. Can’t submit comment – SQL error when clicking on Submit.

2. Click on ‘Contact Us’ – 404 error – page not found (contact.php).

3. Click on ‘email us’ does the Mailto thing and puts ‘admin(at)londonist.com into the To: field. – take it that this is anti spam protection?

So what have we got… recent pictures across the top? Like it. Bigger bolder subject link buttons beneath them? Nice but I have to admit I never use(d) them – latest articles or search box for me. Seems to remember my login now, which is handy (not that I really comment much). Slightly smarter, cleaner and leaner, so it gets a thumbs up from me.

Incidentally, as it’s still Flickr only, photo-wise, does anyone know if there’s an easy way to parcel photos across from a Picasa web album to a Flickr one? The community photos are one of my favourite things about Londonist, but as I horde all mine on Picasaweb (thanks to Google’s monopoly of Blogger etc) I’m ostracised from the pool… Obviously it’s fairly easy to set up a Yahoo account and just upload them all afresh to Flickr, but I’m loathe to create another webmail account just for that, and I can’t help but feel that there must be a simpler, more cunning way these days… maybe I’m expecting too much but fuck me, we put a man on the moon forty years ago, surely someone’s created a nifty little program that can act as a Flickr proxy for Picasa albums… (if not, I blame lawyers).

Yeah, thanks Cobo… it’s taking a couple of days to settle down and get everything right. I think we’re getting there though.

& thanks Eltanin! Good question about the picasa thingy. I’ll ask around our crew too.
