- What do you think of the new site design (still working through a few alterations)? The forums have a new skin to match as well.
Thoughts on the site redesign?
I Like the new layout.
Looks good.
I assume the particular choice of green is a nod to the Seattle Seahawks!
Sick new look.
Looks good, man.
Like it a lot.
Looks good. I always liked the beige backing the text, but this is ok
Digging the New look,conrats. to you
nice layout man it looks tight!
Cool layout, but there’s no longer a “Quote” option in the comments section and the neon green has got to go!
I should be able to get the quote function back soon.
the neon green is the only think i would change…but it looks good
looks cool
not digging the green. sorry lol.
Overall, it looks nice… except the green. Too pale. Try maybe a bit of a desaturated Seahawks green and then we’ll be talking.
Pasta just wondering, what theme is this?
Its seems too bright; but I enjoyed the way you used to have it better
I like the old colors and layout…it fit much better with the pasta logo.
very nice i like it alot.
I think the layout is very good, but the light tan against the white is too bright. Use a darker color for some contrast.
Not too shabby. I like the layout and the featured video, but not too sure about the green.
Looking good.
its ok I don’t look the green either
Just a thought…. Maybe you could go with a Dark Green and Bright Yellow layout… throw in an Oregon “O” and we’re talking! LOL… nah, it looks good man. I also like the featured video. Nice touch!
The green color is absolutely terrible. It’s almost like you are testing to see if you could put up the ugliest colors possible and still get people to agree that it looks cool. The scary part is that it seems to be working.
the white background is a little bright isn’t it?
i didn’t notice at first, but i have found myself squinting while reading. probably not a good thing.
the lime green and peach is a bit much…
and i also agree the white background is a bit too white…
i dont mind the green that much, maybe a shade darker. what about the sandpaper outside border colors? any chance of changin that?
I like the layout, I don’t really like the colors though.
It looks awesome. The lime is a good accent colour.
Color is a bit much - looks like a piece of Key Lime pie exploded on your website
Seriously tho’ - look remains good, and the “featured video” thing is pretty nifty
Great site
The only thing I’d change is the green. It doesn’t match the tan very well.
Pasta,
Great work, if you ever need some html or database coding let me know. I always enjoy your writing and your thoughts. I noticed some of the I-frames are not showing up, but overall nice.
Keep up the great work.

The color schem is questionable. Other than that its a nice improvement.
Great new look! The top navigation is very well thought out and useful. I didn’t like the green header at first, but it has grown on me now. The only part I kinda miss is the black text on a tan background. I know it sounds odd, but it was very easy on the eyes and I don’t know of another site that I go to frequently that did that. I think it gave it a unique feel.
But again, great work! I just got done redesigning my personal site so I can only imagine how much work it took to overhaul a large one like this. Thanks for the great site.
