Thanks, glad you like my work
Still, the design wouldn’t be the same without the contributions of Dave and Prash

This site was done very well, the designer have a very good eye on colour unity as well as design sense. Well done!

I for one, think it looks great! I was very excited to see that you dropped the curved header. It was a cool idea, but I think the rectangular image draws much more attention to the logo and is more respectful to the rest of the design.

The new layout is stellar. Everything appears to be in an extremely natural position. Although, I’d like to see the search box at the top of the sidebar. Incredible use of white space and the menu is very clean.

Lastly, I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to write an actual article around the redesign. It is always inspiring to see how other designers approach the creative process. Thanks for the insight.

Keep up the great work!

Yeah, thanks for that, forgot to update that page!
(Using a different newsletter system now)

Also, I know the prebuilt page is too large a.t.m because of the image size. That’s why under “features” the link doesn’t go anywhere yet. The whole prebuilt page will be updated with the new Prebuilt. I’ll try to get it out this week. Thanks for the comments

BTW, the subscription services page
http://www.devlounge.net/subscribe.php (where user enters e-mail address only in a text entry field) has an error.

After I click the Submit button, this error comes up:

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user ‘devloung_mail’@'localhost’ (using password: YES) in /home/devloung/public_html/newsletter/maillist/inc/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line 327
Couldn’t open connect : Access denied for user ‘devloung_mail’@'localhost’ (using password: YES). Please go back and check settings

Second, I’ve also noticed that one of your previous posted articles got pushed DOWN (basically huge space at the top… then the articles appears pushed down at the bottom). I only checked this on IE 6 though. One example is http://www.devlounge.net/extra/prebuilt
(Heh, if you haven’t read my previous posts elsewhere, then you won’t see that I’m obsesses with launch of Prebuilt 2.0 – I’ve stalled starting my blog… waiting for P2 for weeks.)
