It’s pretty.

Nice work Jane. (And everyone else.)

Hi…I really like it. Your photo/avatar reminds me of my favorite actress, Allie Walker (’Profiler’), btw :-)

I’m proud and happy to be an official FDL replicant..er..registrant.
Makes me kinda tear up- like I’m really a member of the family.

I know you’re getting a lot of this, Jane, but I have to see for myself if my account is working. So, it’s testing, testing One Two Three!

While I’m at it, thanks to all of the Firedoglake makers and shakers who have made this site possible and for all the work you do, and congratulations on the newly minted new-look.

Been a while since I dropped in. I’m usually too intimidated to leave a comment, but I’ve dropped a few lines from time to time.

Congrats on the makeover. I agree about the colors; blue and orange don’t do it for me (someone in the house a Broncos fan?). Why not red, white, and blue? Who says those colors are reserved for certain elements only? We’re all just as patriotic as anyone else! :) Or you could do seasonal colors (I’m thinking red, gold, and green right now…).

I’ll miss the photos that came with each post, but overall, this is much less cluttered, easier to focus, etc. Best of all, the quality of material here hasn’t changed. :)

Good work on the new template — looks much more professional now, and I like it without the music videos. I always felt that selecting a music video to match the theme of a post acted to denigrate the song, actually, so out of principle, I never clicked on them.

And thank you for starting registration! I was quick enough to simply register with my own name. I’ll try to be worthy of the honor of being simply “John.” Best of luck to all of you!

I don’t see the block quote any more.

???

But overall, great redo. Much better than a certain well known graphics software company when they redid theirs. It flopped badly.

I too admit that I miss the radical rascal, TRex. He’s just too much fun. I have his new site on my bookmark bar, but it would be great if Jane and Firedoglake gave him his props and linked to him, too.

Also, Digby at Hullabaloo, Marcy at Next Hurrah (unless that’s one of our upcoming surprises), watertiger at Dependable Renegade, and for good measure, Jesus’ General, Crooks and Liars, and onegoodmove.

Whatever, Firedoglake will always be my first stop, my home. We can all venture out into the great wild blogosphere and still come home to Jane and Christy and all of the rest of our lakers and firedog pups. And that’s what this site, even in its glitchy new format, feels like to me — home.

A cyber family, different from all of the others. I won’t say “better,” I’ll just say the “best” family in the whole damn blogosphere.

FIREDOGLAKE FOREVER!

Oh, that’s a nice little touch.. the site automagically substituted the correct “multiplication” symbol “×” for the “x” I’d actually entered.
