Quite nice, the clean interface makes it easy on the eyes, and it looks like it'll break down nicely if someone's using a console-based browser (e.g. Lynx). Since it's already set up like that, I don't know if you want to change it, but maybe a unified header + description at the top, followed by a selection for Layers | Pixels | Paths would be interesting... http://blogs.gimp.org/layers, http://blogs.gimp.org/pixels, and http://blogs.gimp.org/paths URIs would make sense (although that's less creative, i suppose, than your current offerings). If you did do something like that, http://blogs.gimp.org would maybe also have the same main header as on the above three sites, and then split the three aggregated feeds into individual columns with mini-headers... maybe similar to the column layout at http://www.google.com/ig (except not so interactive and messy...)... each column would be headed b the individual "Layers", "Pixels" and "Paths" blogs headings respectively. Hopefully the suggestion sounds clear... and maybe it's something worth considering, but take it with a grain of salt. I won't be offended if you don't like it. -- ~Mike - Just my two cents - No man is an island, and no man is unable. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
