Anthony Aiello</a>, the pink bars are only supposed to show when you press CTRL+SHIFT+G or CTRL+ALT+G, but I realize that it does it when you type just "G". Its part of <a href="http://gridlayouts.com/" rel="nofollow">this package</a>, which enables designers to quickly add a grid to their site. I left it on because I thought that it was interesting to see, but I agree that it is annoying when you're trying to navigate around. I'll remove it. Thanks. @M.

Thanks.

Anthony Aiello Wed, 17 Sep 2008 13:43:55 +0000 http://nedward.org/?p=1543#comment-2121 I couldn't disagree more. While the old Time.com site may have left some things to be desired, it was at least easy to scan the page and see what was new and worth reading (thinking in particular of the slideshow of the 5 new articles). Now, I find the site to border on garish and the cacophony of different font and picture sizes makes it terribly difficult to scan for information. Yesterday, for example, Time ran an article on the poisoning of babies in China. And I never saw it, because it was never linked off the front page (as near as I can tell). I regret the redesign and wish they had a way for us to view the site with the old layout. As an aside: why do vertical pink bars cover your site when it's rendered in Safari? They make it impossible to interact with the site.... You mention you're using a Mac in your colophon.... I couldn’t disagree more.
