As for listings, I’m looking to pull something in from elsewhere – there’s no way I can generate something myself. I like the idea of calendar integration and there’s a couple of ways that could work. Hmm.

Cheers for that. More thoughts welcome.

The idea of day-by-day navigation, I like, as I said.

As it’s designed at the moment however, when we get to June, it looks as if all of May will disappear? This wouldn’t be so useful after all. Also, I can’t see there’s currently a way of getting back further than May 1st, apart from clicking back page by page.

Perhaps more of a regular calendar sort of thing’d do the trick, so we can search by day, week, month and even by year?

I think this sort of search could be useful, not least as a kind of legacy thing to be able to see what was going on in Birmingham this time last year.

Oooh, another thought – this calendar could include a note of any festivals/events that are coming up; “Put this date in your diaries” kind of thing. I’d find this quick overview of what’s coming up pretty handy as there are times I forget what’s going on …

Oooh, ooooh! There could be a subscription thing so it can then be read into iCal – I think that’s possible?!

Okay, sorry, that’s enough – better get back to work.

I’ll find some time to fix the problem but I’ve got to get back to some urgent work on something else now.

Really sorry to the IE6 users amongst you who are seeing this right hand column problem.

I’ll try to get this fixed asap.

Any other problems/critique/ideas/suggestions just let us know.

Huge apologies but this should be a quick fix!

I know IE/PC users are barbarians and all the rest of it, but one would have thought that if there was any browser system you could have gone out of your way to have a look at…

Now for any Internet Explorer niggles?

I’d really appreciate any PC users to let me know how it’s looking!

@Simon – re the fourth/fifth column, Chris has some plans for this area, so I’ll leave that area to him if that’s okay. But you mean the search/subscribe/email updates area?

Great work folks.

Good to see beautiful Brummie legend Baskerville being used. Works lovely in print too …

Anyway, the site looks a-okay in Firefox. But not so good in Safari: the sidebar drops beneath the posts; the main text is teeny weeny and grey on grey; and the ‘day-by-day’ nav has disappeared. I know, I know, I really should just stick with the ‘Fox … and may well be the only Safari viewer anyway?! Snagging ends.

Definitely like the new look – it seems like there’s more going on somehow, and the calendar nav thing is a grand idea. It should be helpful for those “I know I read something useful a week last Tuesday …” moments!

i don’t mind making my window bigger to view actual content but i have to admit i prefer not to have to do so in order to have a big empty space in the middle of the screen…

@Jon – thinking it might be best to go with a sans-serif on the sidebar perhaps.

It’s Baskerville for large titles and other more readable faces for other pieces of text.
