And for those who want to format their posts, here’s a link to the WordPress quicktags. Scroll down to Visual Versus HTML Editor.

I love the look of the new site. It’s very pleasing to the eye. I would extend the tan sidebar all the way down without having it fade away though…that’s just me.

Any chance you can keep more of the older posts on the front page? I liked being able to scroll down to a couple of days worth of posts…now it’s only 4 or so and I feel like I’m missing stuff. Just a thought. Thanks for a great site!

Ut oh, we have bank failures over the weekend. I doubt the market ignores this come Monday.

The new site is gorgeous, Barry. Glad to see you made the move to Wordpress.

The font size does not adjust on your site in InternetExploder (Vista sucks!Explorer is always crashing after a year of fixes ) . And no matter what I do to configure windows and my monitor differently to try to make the fonts larger your site has the teeniest tiny text. I find it very difficult to read which is highly annoying since I do enjoy your posts.

Could the site possibly have at +/- Text size widget as many other sites do? Maybe then I can put away my magnifying glass! To give you some idea of how small the type face is on my screen, “I” is 1/16 of an inch high! Thanks for considering this

BR: Command +/- works on my Mac in Firefox and Safari, and it works on the Dell (XP) in Firefox.

On a related note, I just ordered a brand new machine for the office from Dell, and on the Vostro models (Intel Quad 6600, 4 Gig Ram), they are throwing in the “downgrade” to XP, which I happily took.

I have been searching for another web site that rivals yours as far as the size of the header.
The closest I could find is espn.com.

~~~

BR: Yeah, that is getting fixed also.

The dark grey up top is being cut out, the tabs color and spacing fixed, and the overall size of the header is being made smaller.

Barry, if you didn’t see Kevin Phillips on Bill Moyers tonight, it’s worth a look and maybe a post when the podcast becomes available.

I have a beef. When is Friday night Jazz coming back? Or at least Friday night music of some sort.
