Told you it looked snazzy!
Bright pink has been replaced with black and what I call 'wine' red!
As I said in the last post, the site looks completely different but should, in the majority of cases, be a lot faster.
The Snap Preview tool has been removed as I felt it is starting to become a main reason why this site is slow.
The advertising banners have disappeared too.
All in all, the site has become more minimalistic!
BlogRoll and the contact area will stay as they are for the time being, though I would like to integrate both sections into the site more tightly.
I would love to hear your comments on the new design. It's here to stay for sometime so comments about what should be tweaked would be ideal.
(I'm not sure if you noticed the top right hand corner now has a clock. I thought it was a nice addition to the site.)

Thanks Len.
As for point 1, there is a section underneath the Technorati tags that is called "You may also be interested in reading:". This lists the last seven posts before the seminar you are reading.
Point 2 has been sorted and you will now see ticks in the main body of the seminar, after links you have visited.
Like you have said, Snap did seem to get in the way. It's clever technology but perhaps not perfect yet.
Thanks for the positive feedback!

Yep, it's definitely snazzy. In fact, they should maybe even put a link to this site under "Snazzy" in the dictionary! :-)
Love the new look, also think that tick next to visited links is very clever.

Wow David - it's certainly a fresh new look!
I have two small feature requests...
1. I miss the next seminar link that used to be at the bottom of each post. It was handy when catching up on old posts.
2. Currently your visited links look the same as unvisited ones so I need to devote brain cells to remembering what I've already read! The old "tick" was cool but a more simple colour change would do just as well.
Good move on getting rid of the Snap Previews. While they are a clever concept they often get in the way.
And thanks for the informative seminars!
