Tweaking the design

 

You may have noticed a few more design tweaks on this new blog platform, including the clean blue bordering and the new philly.com logo. But by far the best new feature is the option which allows you to increase the size of the text. This will be invaluable to readers of a certain age whose eyes no longer peer with ease at small type. I'm not naming any names, except my own.

"The American Debate: Obama-Clinton? Stranger things have happened" is brilliant. In particular, the second paragraph is concise, and amazingly accurate. I really enjoyed your insights.

Obama-Clinton? Forget it. Those two hate each other, and no president is going to want Bill Clinton giving his two cents all the time because he's the VP's husband.

May I comment on the new design? I appreciate your efforts, but I feel it is unattractive and unintelligent looking. I love Philadelphia, and feel this city is the opposite...filled with attractive and intelligent people. I would like the website to reflect this. I'm sorry, as I know you meant well. It is just undeveloped looking and very tacky. Thanks for listening.

An Obama-Clinton ticket sounds dubious to me. I think Clinton would be difficult to work with unless she was the boss, and I think having a former president underfoot all the time would make life pretty difficult for Obama. I could, however, see Hillary in a cabinet post.

Hillary as part of a Cabinet --- no way! I didn't think so before reading Dick's column, but she probably is now running for VP. With the power that Dick Cheney has assumed, I would think that makes the #2 job desirable. If President Obama wants to keep his good man leading us in a new direction image, then he'll realistically need his own "Darth Vader" to keep the malcontents in line. Right now, nobody is tougher than the lady in the pants suit.

Horrible new design. Hard to find things, less info in front page. Seems like they were trying to fix sonething that wasn't broken, and really goofed.

This design sucks. Way to "not get it" again inky.

I agree with some of the other posters. The new design doesn't look very sharp. What's with the beige/baby blue color scheme. Yuck.
