I agree with the last opinion. But I can´t see may new things in the content. Does it only affect to the desing?

I love the new interface. :) Neat.

This looks awesome. Good work.

ooops... till tomorrow? like, i dont know if it's today for me or tomorrow...
anyway, howie, everything looks cool... excellent job!

Site looks cool. Thanks.

PS: well..i just wanted to check the templates..n for some reason clicked on one of them and lost all my sidebar data
that i had typed..my profile..web links et al.Guess I gotta do it again..anybody got a fix for this?

though I have an observation.. motime now looks a lot like an imitation of blogspot. don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

I hope we get to have some extra features like recently updated entries, better html editor where tables are allowed... just a note. :)

Where are the extra features? I love the new look. Do we have RSS yet?

I like the new templates and features and functions. I can see that you've taken into consideration the suggestions that have been brought up before, which I really appreciate. But I just have to say that while the "more centralized blog control" is well-intended, it is a wee bit too disorienting. Oddly, I feel as if I'm alone navigating around motime. Which was never the case with the "old look". Must be the change in color scheme and layout, and with the newly updated section being relocated, in particular. With the old, I always felt I had company (even if the list of updated blogs sometimes virtually never moved! or when the blog names didn't sound too familiar). Maybe I'm just being a little nostalgic. Must be a subsequent effect of being disoriented. ;) So, anyway, my suggestion (and it is but a suggestion) is for the main page to retain its old layout but with a more modern twist (though I still think that the old was a classic as it was). And I will have to agree with harriene; we do look like blogger now. I hope we change back to the old fonts (verdana-esque) at least? And orange! Motime used to be about white, blue and orange! (And some greys, too) What happened to white and orange? Talk about classic. : ) Maybe the blues are what's been making me...blue? I hope these things I brought up don't make you crazy(ier). It is enough of a stress for me to maintain my own blog, what with the design and all. I can only imagine the hard work you have to do (and stress you go through) to maintain a whole network of blogs. So hats off to you. Keep up the good work!

first of all, thanks to all you for taking the time to comment. You know we really do read and consider what you have to say. Let me answer a few questions and respond to the comments...

I've got a better idea. I'll write a post about the interface issues to keep the ball rolling.

In this thread let me respond to GuruKool's question: Yes, any extra code that you put into your template for customization will be lost if you change templates. ALL customized template code should be copied into a text document on your own hard disk as a back-up. Always. jmora, I don't really understand your question. Can you be more specific?

Give me a little time...and I'll get to the next post soon!
