Feedback = A New Buzz Bin Chosen by You
Over the past few months many of you have confided in me. You love the content, but could do without the blog template. You told me it’s got problems, such as:
- Comment names are viewed in white so you can’t see who said what
- The template comes in black with very dark gray typeface on some browsers
- Or the template comes in split colors on my browser
- The header is… thick (OK, that was me)
- The font size and color makes it difficult to read
- And in general the hard angular nature of everything is well, either great or terrible depending on the viewer
Plus the custom WP design is hard to work with on our side. Enter phase two of our optimization experience with Viget Labs.
In October, we will unveil a redesigned, state-of-the-art Buzz Bin blog. Best yet the new blog will be chosen by you in about three weeks time (give or take). Once we select the final designs, we’re going to post them here and let Buzz Bin readers pick the new template. Thanks for taking enough interest to comment.

Yeah the white names was killing me!! The font size wasn’t that bad for me though. Can’t wait to see the theme suggestions.

How about something with more hair? I’ve got plenty, if you need some…
And glad to see you back up and around after that dangerous “crossing the lifestreams” incident.

OB81: Me, too, but whatever it will be, it should improve the blog.
Ike: Thanks for keeping it light.
