I guess I've given it a few days - time for some conclusions. Firstly, the font which seems to be the most controversial change. I find it harder to read that the original, also a little on the large side. It reminds me of the new Guardian font (which, incidentally, I think works really well on the printed page). But, all in all, it doesn't really affect my enjoyment of the site. More controversial to me was the decision to move the email login to a new page. I use the email regularly and it was always nice to see what's changed on the site whilst logging in. Now I have bookmarked the login page, I suspect that over time, my usage of the site will show a slight dip. I think the new front page is an improvement. I appreciate the fact that the ads are still unobstrusive. I am assuming that the proliferation of the word "indie" is for search engine benefit? I like to think that CLUAS has broader range than that suggested by a word that is losing meaning to me. The Corrs, Van, Jack Johnson. Indie?
