    Very nice! Congratulations! It a great example of keeping the simplicity of the site that everyone's used to while pulling it into the 21st century with a cleaner, smarter look. Way to go.

    That's a very subtle change... Blue links should be banned though, so thumbs up for that.

    Great job on the realignment. Much cleaner layout. Did you do any usability tests?

    Thanks for the kind words guys.

    Norm,

    I would have liked to do some testing, but once we finished the test port in our branch, there was a lot of energy to get it out, since everyone felt that at the very least it was an order of magnitude better than what was there before.

    I am already working on an update to address some concerns, and further refine the layout.

    I saw the link first on Rich's blog, and knew that was a Chris J. Davis piece.
