We’ll forgive the slack posting, Bob, if the posts you toss our way R-O-C-K-!

Bob,

I hate to say this but I think the home page on 47hats has become way over the top. You’ve added so many Wordpress crosslinking gadgets that its become quite confusing. On my screen the sidebars take up more room than main stories.

The layout used on individual stories is much, much cleaner.

If I was you, I’d put the focus back on the actual content, rather than ‘50 different ways to access my content’.

The content is great and I’m quite happy to read each post as it appears, in chronological order.

Just my two cents. I’d be interested to hear what others think - perhaps it’s just me.

Regards,

Mark.

I agree, it’s hard to tell what is content, versus comments, vs new content, vs navigation.

agreed. I no longer check 47hats.com on a regular basis (I used to).

Ouch! I need to do something about this… Thanks Nate, Mark, Phillip and Todd for your feedback - I appreciate it.

Hi Bob,

I was surprised when I tried to open your new website from my day job work place it was refused by the firewall program (WebMarshal) on our server with the message ‘Access to this website was blocked by the rule Harmful and Stealth’. It turns out that your site is on a black list maintained by http://www.surbl.org.
I just wanted to let you know. There must be somebody out there that really does not like the new look…

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that your logo obscures the main menu on the home page in my browser (Explorerer 7, yes I know, but I really like this browser).

Ger - I think it was a false positive - at least surbi does not list 47hats.com: http://www.rulesemporium.com/cgi-bin/uribl.cgi?domain0=207.176.137.118;bl0=0

Any further info would be greatly appreciated, and I’m trying to get a handle on why oh why IE7 has an issue with this code…

Thanks!

Bob,

go to http://www.rulesemporium.com/cgi-bin/uribl.cgi and type your domain in one of the boxes. This is the result:

47hats.com is 207.176.137.118 [ rbl lookup ]
domain registered: unknown [ full whois ]
RBL: skipping uri lookups on ip-based RBLs
URIBL: multi.surbl.org: listed [Blocked, 47hats.com on lists [ob], See: http://www.surbl.org/lists.html
URIBL: multi.uribl.com: not listed [ report ]

It undoubtly says you are listed, reason for our server (WebMarshal) to block it. Just wanted to let you know.

IE7 problem with the logo has disappeared.
