Since launching the new design of Challies Dot Com I have received lots of feedback. Some has been positive and some has been negative. The negative comments have mostly been concerned with two things: the color of the background and the loss of the photo that was in the banner of the old design.

It is a little difficult to see on the small photos, so consider clicking on the “different sizes” link and then select the “large” view.
