New Yodel lookWhoa. What happened to Yodel Anecdotal?

New year, new look. We’ve slapped on a new paint job and spiffed up the joint. In addition to a slick new template, you’ll notice we now have a wider post body and a cleaned up sidebar. We also added tagging (the tag cloud lives under the “Archives” tab) and you can now receive posts via email by subscribing just under the search box. Whaddaya think?

We’ve done plenty of QA, but let us know if you discover anything wonky. Just drop us a line.

Props to the guys from cnp_studio (Nick, Sean, Mike & Pete) and Voce Communications (Josh & Mike) for hooking us up with this new haircut. We’ve memorialized the old look here in case you ever feel nostalgic.

Great look. Sleek and edgy. I know the CNP guys. They do great work! And it’s just the right amount of cowbell!

Nicki, I’m pretty sure he only means it could use even more cowbell… after all, can a site ever really have too much?

Comment Justin Thorp | January 12th, 2008 at 11:42 am

Hey guys! I totally dig the new look. I look forward to what the future holds!

Nicki Dugan | January 12th, 2008 at 9:33 pm

@Ryan Christensen - Ah, you might be right. I’m sure Bruce Dickenson would especially concur.

I wondered how many of the rotating header images you had - turns out the answer is 46 :)
