I was really shocked when I visited your site today for my usual blog tour, but I must say I really do like it! The color combo--though not one of my personal favs--works, and i frickin' LOVE the font you've used for the header! Take care and way to go! Hey Mark!

But now my eye is drifting on the "GH" spacing. Maybe you could look at it. As for the colon, I agree that you wouldn’t say two colon forty eight am. I was more thinkg of having the ":" as a mnemonic and not used in letters as in "colon" but inserted as is ":". But I suppose we are طق حنك. Anyway no worries. Yeahh it is better.

Jay as mark said you are free to state your opinion like everyone else. I replied the way I did because I thought you came on a bit hard with the old senile man+wife+dog site thing. Afterall it's all about taste. Change is always good.

I am not a webdesigner so I wouldn't know how to combine my ideas with wordpress, i can barely get this fucking comments section of the blog looking decent so you won't be seeing any brody here... About the kerning in the header it was already fixed today morning, try to hard refresh. the : was dropped from the header because when you verbally say 2:48am you say it two forty eight am, you wouldn't say two colon forty eight am. Jay you are free to state your opinion of course.

Everyone has a different taste, we’re not trying to please everyone. Then what’s wrong with the man with a wife and dog image? I’m sorry but you don’t know anything about us or our lifestyle.</i> I am a designer as well. As matter of fact I run a design/CI co in Lhr and in the ME. But you are right that we don't have to see I2I and as they say: Les gouts et les couleurs...and I appreciate if you are happy with the design then thats the end of it. Mark posted for comments and I obliged. What I know about you or your lifestyle is only from your site which I find entertaining and which of course is nobody business but yours. As for whats wrong with a wife+dog is simply a figure of speech so La tezaaly menni! I valued Mark persona from his site and his use of photography and being on the ball. What I expected from the new site is to be impressed with some new undiscovered territory and some typophilic a la ZuzanaL or NevilleB. As it stands, it is a me2 site with single color and a quirk on the typeface where Mark has played with the kerning on the letter "T" with the W and the Y but some work should be done on the last part "TAM" as it is not standing in line with the other letter. Either space it or kern it. It looks out of sync. And why did you kill the ":" of 2:48? Having said that. It is your red wagon and I am only web hopping. Yo Nat
