Beautifully done. Thank you.

When I single click it, it opens in a new tab, which is my default, and it leaves my browser size alone.

Great blog, by the way. Sorry to be a pest.

Well, young man, I'm not insulted. Vanderleun said to me yesterday, your font's big. I said, 'Say what?'

Here's the result of that conversation. Haven't heard any complaints yet.

It's amazing the difference in browser experience. I enjoy opening pictures on another page, so of course I offered that to our readers. I'm seriously glad you told me, just as I'm grateful to Vanderleun.

If anyone out there HATES the new design, please let me know.

Here is another attaboy for you. I see that your "print preview" removes the sidebar and shows only the mainline content for printing. That's exactly how it should work, but so many blogs and web sites simply don't get it.

Old farts (me) often like to print off good articles ... in a large font ... for later words-on-paper delectation or (heaven help us) filing. Some big name sites make that virtually impossible, either intentionally or because the cocky little web-design bastards always know best. The worst are the paginated sites where the "printer friendly" buttons don't recombine the pages into one big document.

There is a site http://www.printfriendly.com/ (no affiliation) that will attempt to reformat bad sites so they become printable. Often it does not work.

Those of us who worship at the alter of Cooper/Norman appreciate your good work.

We try to not be Web Design Bastards. In fact, we're opposed to Web Design Bastardism!

You taught me something else this morning. I had no idea about the print margin business, just like I didn't know about the photo popup.

I take the lazy way out on Typepad. Yes, I can maneuver around code enough to get through a Wordpress, but as I say . . .

The easy way out.

Let this be a lesson to anyone out there reading these exchanges between Uncle Kenny and me: if you don't say anything, the Webster Blogolista may not know.
