The New Look of MLS 2.0

By Erik Schmidt

Less green, more serifs, bigger text. I thought it was time for a change, if for no other reason than to symbolize the rebirth of the site. Let me know what you think, particularly if you find the new layout difficult to use.

I switched to a three-column layout primarily so I could incorporate advertising in the left column. My plan is to put together a sponsorship arrangement similar in form (if not traffic figures) to what Gruber does over at Daring Fireball. I’m looking for ads that actually provide you with useful information while generating enough revenue for me to run the site. The first time around MLS was a labor of love, and it still is. But this time I want it to be a labor of love that doesn’t steal from my bank account.

So poke around the newly renovated MLS, and let me know what you think.

p.s. - About the logo: That’s a pic of a kea, a tenacious, clever alpine parrot found in New Zealand. I figure it’s an apt mascot.
