New Site Design Live, What do you think?

We have been working behind the scenes on a new site design which we just launched today, and hope you enjoy. As we are always trying to improve things here we would really appreciate it if you could take a look and let us know what does and doesn't work for you.  What you like, and more importantly what you don't.

 

Thanks,

WindowsConnected Crew

Really nice work. I build websites sometimes but I don't think I can make it that nice. I like it, I do.

I like it too,  but the color behind the "windows connected" text appears too gray (desaturated) for my liking. But maybe that's just me.

Glad you guys like it.  Any parts that are buggy let me know, should have some way to tell how many comments on a post, and have the post list working

It's a neat design but I would have liked to see something a little more unique here on Windows Connect in terms of UI and theme rather than simply barrowing elements of Windows Vista's taskbar. Also: the giant Windows "orb" has been done quite a bit all over the web on blogs covering Windows. Would have liked to have seen something done a little different here.

Kudos to the hard work done on the theme though. I love the new menu system. Very fast and responsive. Excellent work.

Brandon, the windows connected theme has had the orb for nearly 2 years now, I didn't want to change that part.

Any suggestions to make it look event better would be greatly appreciated
