A little change… new layout!

A little change… new layout!
Notice anything different? The new design features changes in the look and feel of the site, as well as some more structural changes, such as the navigation and search. We are still tweaking the comments section over the next 24-48 hours, though.
- The navigation is now clickable so that you can view each category’s subcategories.
- The search is powered by Google to–hopefully–aid you in better, more efficient searching.
- Before you get to the content, the most popular posts from the week, which you can scroll through.
- Each post can be easily “Liked” on Facebook or Stumbled with StumbleUpon.
- Redesigned comment section.
I hope you like the new design and some of the features that came along with it. The Love it/Leave it feature was designed to be launched with the new layout, but I couldn’t wait for to get that live! Temptalia gives major thanks to Shaun aka the tech guy for the weeks and months and hours upon hours he’s put into the site (seriously, thirty-six hours in the past three days alone).
P.S. — If you see anything that seems broken, do let us know!
I thought this might be the right place to let you know that the most popular posts scroll bar at the top of the page completely messes up the page layout on m.temptalia
Everything is cool except that now I cannot see my gravatar here anymore. I felt some type of individuality when posting on here before the changes because not many of us had them. Oh well. I'll get used to it.
Love the new layout but really hate the google search, it's not very helpful and I found the old search much easier to find what I was looking for.
love it--esp the comment section is much easier to read and it's so bright and inviting without being distracting, awesome job
i like it but there are some issues with link pages. i went on "upcoming mac collections" and tried to look at the look in a box collection but instead it lead me to the digi pop collection. just a minor flaw :p
Hi Mia! Look In a Box is part of the Digi-Pop Collection and the information is in that post, actually!
I love it Christine!!! Thank you Shaun for all the hard work its greatly appreciated. You guys are so dedicated.
Hey Christine I don't know if any one has mentioned but the site is wonky on the mobile version. The top bar with the most popular posts shows up on the page as big cluttered disorganized posts instread of how it is on the regular site. I can take a screen capture for you if you want.
Btw the new layout looks great. thanks for all of you and your bf's hard work! I was just giving you a heads up about the mobile site but I think my last comment sounded a bit mean
Hi Lulee, The mobile site is done by a third party (Glam), and we let them know we changed the layout, but we have to give them some time to update :)
I do like the new layout... and i don't know if it's the browser i'm using (google chrome) or if many ppl are on ur site slowing down the server, but it takes a forever and a day to load. :(
Is it better right now, Rissy? There was something that seemed to break in Google Chrome (we are still waiting for a fix), but we removed it for now so it shouldn't happen any more!
I think I really like the new layout so far! It's faster and gives the website a fresh look, love it!
Oooh! It's very pretty! Although it's darker, and for summer I wouldn't have pictured that. But it's still gorgeous, and very sophisticated!
love it just ONE thing, :) maybe highlight the headings because i sometimes scroll past them and miss things :) thanks
I mostly like the new layout (the comments section really isn't winning me over I'm afraid) but is it just me or the font now really dull? It looks like everything is just Arial. I don't mind it for the main body of posts but at least the titles could be something a bit more.. fun? Hopefully it's a grower!
I agree with Charlotte, I noticed the font change immediately. I think the problem is the size of the font. It is slightly larger in the text of the entry (size 10) than the text of the comments (size 9). I actually find the smaller size much cleaner and easier to read. Christine - I've never commented before but I have always filled out your surveys for feedback. (Love that you're including full face shots with lip swatches now!) Would love the font to be changed back so it's easier to read. That being said, I appreciate the work and time you and Shaun have put into updating the site.
Hi K, It's a change we were going to implement once we've had more time to work through a few other issues, but just for reference, the comments are size 12 and the text (was) 13! :) It should be fixed now. Thanks!
Oops, I was going off email font sizes instead of sites. haha Yes, I've refreshed, and it has been changed. Looks much better, thanks! One more thing... You might want to add a little more space between the "Like" and "Stumble Upon" buttons. When the "Like" counts reach the triple digits, they get cut off, as seen in the MAC & Disney post. A very minor detail, but something I noticed. :)
Thank you, Anita :) Is the site still loading slow for you? Is it like... SUPER slow, as in over a minute? Or is it just, "Hey, why so slow?" but just something you notice?
