Welcome to the new design

Tom Seaver and Dwight Gooden(New content below this article)    We’ve made it to the new location.

Think back to when you first moved in to your current house or apartment. You know those first few days where you can’t find your stuff, and you have to wait for the cable guy to hook you up, and you just feel out of sorts but excited?

That’s where I am with the site.   Stuff is still in boxes, some older posts might be ugly, some from this week might be missing, the header image up top could be much better, I chopped off the top of Gooden’s head and some links might not be working.

Ironically, the site needs more blue and some more pictures of Mets.   Somewhere David Howard is laughing.   We’ll get there.

Thanks for your patience, especially if you’ve sent me something to post.  As a reader the new site should work much better, and hopefully you just enjoy the content no matter how it looks.  If you find a bug, or think something could be better, please drop me a note at [email protected]

  1. 1st Real comment…WOOHOO
    Was a tad worried, but here you are…lol
    Site looks OK to me, loads nice and fast, and it looks like comments will be SOOOO much easier.
    Now I’ll be able to use the nome de guerre I use over at Uni Watch

    1. Dang you’re fast! You got to the new design before I did. Still some tweaks to do but here we are! Yes comments will now be easier, for example now that you have an approved comment you are “trusted” and will just be able to post.

  2. One possible tweak: The column in which the articles are posted is current set for variable width in relation to the size of the users window, while all the other columns are stable. Causes some ugly compression at times.
    Also, was thinking it would look good if you put a wide shot of Shea and Citi(it is home now) on either side of for the mets Police logo up top

    1. That’s a good suggestion, I stumbled across what you mentioned (about compression). I will dig into that now. As for header, I’m not happy with the present one, that’s a good suggestion to. I mayb have to bum a favor from someone better at Photoshop than I. I’m just happy to be up and running, I was expecting a long outage. At least comments seems easier.

    1. That’s a function of the geometry of the new site. Let me know (everyone) what’s wrong/could be better. Feedback much appreciated. The reason for all this was to make the site more user friendly, so you won’t hurt my feelings. Thanks for checking in David!
