I hate it when I do this but I’m feeling that itch again to redesign the site. Someone please talk me out of it.
EDIT: Too late! I had to do it.

Ooooh my first comment and on something I love, site redesigns…
Scott how about not redesigning it, just creating another, alternative design and implement a style switcher? That way every time the urge grabs you, get creative, make something new and scratch that itch. Add it to the switcher and let your fans chose which design they want when they visit the site.
Kudos on the site so far by the way, great design, clean friendly and full of fun exciting content, keep it up
Please redesign the comments so they are cut of the side of the screen
Go ahead and do the redesign. In combination, at the same time, do the unique domains like I told you for SEO.
Yeah man. Hate to burst your bubble, but a site redesign could be fun! Do it, and we’ll just give you feedback, as per usual.
The site works, looks pretty good, and you have lots to do, or at least, lots better to do. DON’T DO IT SCOTT!
NOOOOO DON’T DO IT SCOTT! THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
erm yah well that didn’t make much sense. sorry man I can’t think of a good reason to talk you out of it. Go ahead and redesign like a madman, I’ve loved every redesign you’ve done
Go for it
Knock it off Scott!
toatly, DO IT
Don’t you already have enough on your plate at this point? What’s with you man!
There will be a time for redesign, and you will know when that time is… search your feelings. When the time is right, you will know without question, and all will be clear.
Please don’t do anything regarding this and enjoy the day watching some Olympics with your kids…
Really Scott, I see no reason to do anything close to redesign, it’s great the way it is right now and didnt you redesign just a few months ago?
It will take time and patience that you could use for something else, something more “family” like, not that you don’t do stuff family like, but I bet everyone would prefer Papa Scott farting around for some extra hours than farting around redesign the website…
Redesign your HTML.
Cleaner HTML will make redesigning easier when it a good time.
Try do the site with less classes, less javascript, more semantics and elegance.
If you want to see *really* clean HTML, have a look at my site. It is well worth doing.
It seems to look good to me. However, if you can pinpoint specific problems that you need to solve, go ahead and redesign
i like how this is sorta complain about the site comments. so i want to add in my idea. i want it to be easer to go into the archived shows. right now to get to the 100 block of shows i have to click like ten buttons i want it to take less time
thanks.
Don’t do it Scott! Focus on what you have on your plate now, which is a lot, and don’t do anything else!
Don’t do it man! Think of the children!
Scott, do a Final Score instead.

…did you just redesign the site?
I’d prefer that space comic you talked about a while back myself
Been itching for some more sci fi stuff on the net…
Remember this?

Yeah that’s right you did a template redesign and what happened?!!?!
DON’T DO IT!
Don’t do it!
But if you do I would recomend more explosions.
I launched my website a few months ago and I’m getting the itch to do a redesign as well. Although I think your site looks good and is fine as it is, my advice is to almost continually plan site refreshes to….well…keep the site fresh, lol. Just don’t go overboard. Sometimes it’s fine to leave things as they are as I’ve discovered with my site. I’ve spent whole days looking into redesigns only to find out that the way I currently have it is just fine for now.
Either way Scott, just keep the content coming, that’s all that really matters.
Fert?!
ur site do wat u want with it
Bernie Mac died.
OOOooh- New shinies!
Me likey.
Wait- ummm… STOP! YOU MADMAN YOU!
so much for talking you out of it…
Oooooo It has begun!
I like it so far.
I feel dizzy
@tankyouverymuch: Just lay down bud everything will be fine
AArrgghh!!! I hit refresh & my world turned upside down. Give me a couple days, I’m sure I’ll like it just fine. lol
I liked it the other way. I am old and I dislike change. Rather than redesign this backlit newsletter (or “web site” as you call it), I would like you to photocopy it and mail it to my house. I am frightened of things that I do not understand, and I yearn for the comfort of yesteryear.
Now it looks like every other site. I liked the old new look!
Don’t like the new layout. Not opposed to change, but change it to a different layout than that please.
That has to be one of THE fastest “I’m thinking about”/executions I have ever seen.
Dude, I like it!
Oh em gee. This is a bit different, but a good different! It looks very nice scott! Very organized, just a bit too organized. Gonna have to spend a bit of time getting used to it, but nontheless, WTG!
LOL. You guys say the same thing evwrytime I make a change. “I hate it!!”.”"I love it!!!”
Hehe. It is what it is.
Maroon and tan? Nice, goes god together.
Oppinion: The ads clutter up the right side, I would put them under the friend list and make the words bigger on the Recent comments, sponsors, calendar, friends, ect. to fill in the space and make it easier to read.
Feels non original=(like every other blog looks the same. i like the older one better
DUDE I totally love the new design!
I’m pretty indifferent, The new site is totally fine for sure, but I think I preferred it how it was.
I also prefer the old site design. The new one works too though. Go with what makes you HAPPY!
Yaay, we’re using the same base theme!
WHOOP WHOOP!
NO DON”T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!… to late -_-
I like it except for the titles. They don’t catch my eye.
*leans over to her left to read the news postings* :-\
Oh my, the 3 Column layout is painful, please change it to something else.
Not really liking the design, it looks really generic and having the sidebar stuff on the right just doesn’t feel right
you shouldnt have done it scott…
new layout kinda sucks
