    I too can’t see the index on the left but I can see it on the right

          It’s ok, I’m not really crushed, I was just being silly. I value everyone’s input. It is my site I know, but I also want it to be accessible for users, so it’s good to get feedback on changes. šŸ™‚

      I agree with Marcia, but I’m an old fogie and barely computer literate; I also find it hard to navigate “busy” pages. I still get overwhelmed by the “feed” at the bottom of the screens on the TV news.

    In high res on my Imac it looks fine but on the old steam-powered computer at my mother’s house the left sidebar is cut off

    Oookay – I have added a static Index to the right-hand menu! I suspect some people with lower res monitors were having problems with the lefthand menu disappearing off the bottom f the screen – so this is for them šŸ™‚

    I don’t enter in often though I read this blog religiously; especially knowing there are updates usually every weekend. I find it off putting to train my eye to the center of the screen to read. Just saying… love the content and look of the site otherwise. I’m not sure I am too keen on the avatars…doesn’t gel with the Baz in general. thanks for your labor of love!

      Hee I do know what you mean about the avatars – they’re kinda silly, but lots of people love them and get fond of their own little “person” – so I can’t change them now!

    I think the new layout is easier to navigate once you get used to the change. I visit every day and was so used to the old style it dismayed me to start with but now I am finding it easier to check back posts and such

    Forgot to mention, it’s a bit tougher finding the older posts now…I REALLY liked the “by-the-month” thing, so I could look them-up more easily. The list of Baz’s films along the right of the page was also very nice, so I could choose (and comment on) them. I hope these features will be coming BACK, soon! I miss being able to check-on all my fave past comments. šŸ˜¦

      The list of his movies us still available – in the left hand sidebar, click on “blog index” and the whole thing opens up as a drop down menu. And the “Archive” drops open too with a list of posts by the month šŸ™‚ I might add them to the other menu bar too actually.

        THANKS for letting me know! Problem is, my computer’s stupid “Windows” bottom tool-bar is COVERING where I’d access the blog index, and I have NO clue how to disable the thing so I can SEE it…dang!! I’ll ATTEMPT to figure it out— otherwise, I’m outta luck. šŸ˜¦

            My screen resolution is: 1366 x 768. It CAN be adjusted lower, but I’ve never messed with it, ’cause I prefer the HIGHEST quality possible. Do you think THIS could be my problem?

              no I don’t thinks so. I think turning it down might make it worse. But at least the index is now on the other sidebar as well, so you shd be able to access it

    I like the NEW dark background/light lettering on the comment write-in box, now. It doesn’t hurt my eyes so much…especially since I enjoy typing in my room at night, with NO lights on! I did prefer the PREVIOUS font for our names and the dates, though. I’m also trying to get used-to having only HALF the page move when I scroll up and down. But, all-in-all, a decent improvement on the prior setup! (Please don’t EVER change our avatars…I really LOVE my little orange alien-dude!!) šŸ™‚

    I like the fact you have preserved the “look” that is uniquely Baz. It’s very twenties/old movies/Broadway and seems very fitting.

    Gorgeous. I find it easier to navigate too. Love the static access menu on the left
