One thing I noticed. When I click "Jawacast" at the top, and then from the Jawacast page, I click the "Home" link at the top. After clicking the Home link I get a 404. The link to "Home" from the Jawacast page goes to /archives/index.php when it should just go to /index.php.
That make any sense?

No! The lights! The colors!
I feel like Ray Milland in "X."
A bit hard on the eyes, Rusty.

The bug I reported occurs every time "Home" is clicked from anywhere in the "/archives". Sorry for posting again.

This is a lot better. Mu sites tend to get cluttered
Makes the photos jump better and the white on dark is fine -- different and distinct
Dude, it rocks

Tidi! Nice upgrade. Version 3.0 looks promising, but I'm sure by the time you get to v.6.6.6. you'll really have the concept figured out.
Just a question though, are you formatting your page to something higher than 800x600? If you are, that would explain why your page scrolls off to the right on my PC.

Keep the suggestions coming, but quickly. Especially any bugs you see.

Rusty, I see an html "" tag in the title of the comment posting window. There may be more tags there, but all I can see is the center tag.

How about a greenish or amber or redish hue on black font.

New background easier to read.

Yes, new background is much easier to read. I'd make the light color default if it's not. And my previous comment, the html tag was stripped. Basically there's text in the title of the comment window that has center tags around it and those center tags show in the title.

Sweet. I like it a lot.
Slight nitpicky thing... in your Thomas Mann quotation, the phrase and his name overlap a bit. I don't know if that was intended or unavoidable, but it looks a little weird to me. Then again, I am a damn lunatic, so take it for what it is worth. Regardless, the page is fantastic, especially the new color scheme.

The electric blue anchor tag color on the black background is a little eye-straining on my monitor. A little less saturation might help.
Overall, though, very nice look. (But I'm wondering why "The Jawa Report" looks so... serious.)

Also, clicking "comments" from the mainpage gave me a 300x400 popup window with comments only, and the old formatting. After posting the comment, it reloaded the permalink page (new formatting) into the popup window.

Whatever else you do, make the comment window resizeable. Seriously.

Comments and trackback windows now resizable.

I don't care for the blue and white on black -- kind of bothers my eyes. Also, your text now runs off the right side of my screen so I constantly have to scroll back and forth to read. Don't know if it's a problem on my side or yours. Thank you.

I like the black background. All around the site is very slick.
However...
Load time is a bit high. Is that because it is still BETA?
I have a good DSL connection and it takes a good 4 or 5 seconds to load. No biggee, but you asked for it.
Also, you neglected to add me to your blog roll. That MUST be fixed!

I was wondering if you could enable full postings in your feed? I use an RSS reader to zip through about 600 posts a day, and its nice to be able to see the full post without going to the website. I know this *really* isn't related to the new look so I'll say this:
"Looks great!"
LOL

The site is unreadable for me using my usual browser Konquorer 3.4.0 (Default browser for KDE on Linux/BSD)
all the text is jumbled together the only reason I got to this page was because "My Pet Jawa 3.0" thread in bold blue sticks out.

The Blue is killing the rest of the text. Basically unreadable on Mozilla.
Sorry.

Howie: it's completely messed up in FreeBSD/Mozilla port. I use FreeBSD, it doesn't come by default in that, I would have to compile it from the portstree. so far 3 browsers have been able to see it properly!

Sith beotch Howie says:
Thanks everyone for all the reports of errs. I am getting a download time of about 30 seconds first time and better after the site cashes over 56k at full speed. I think the earlier reports of lag time were due to server load or rebuilds. I've noted that the jawa 2.0 has been slow at times the last few days. I was sitting on 3 t3's and also noted the delay of a few seconds. Could be all the rebuilds. Don't stop. Also some linux systems may not be handling there errs as well as IE. And remember IE displays late to appear fast. Datacom response seems good right now.

Heading is unique, distinctive, fresh, & crisp.
Layout is stylish, easy to navigate and unobtrusive.
Colors for the normal BG (black) makes the text easy to read and the sections/frames beautiful, which appeals to the eye. The color scheme is well coordinated and blends nicely with each other. I don't like the white background, too much of a sharp contrast between sections, too bright and strident for the eyes.
Fonts - look good and are compatible with overall look and other fonts.
I like the image header with the blended fadeout.
Overall - I think it's a keeper! Great Job!

Can we get the RSS feeds to be the full story? I can read a few lines via my RSS feed reader, but the page is unreadable on every browser I have available, all the text apart from the top and bottom story flow into each other and I can't read any of it.
The comment sections are completely readable, and normal front page is completely fubar'd
