Richard MacManus http://www.readwriteweb.com If you've visited R/WW over the past week you'll have noticed a new design has been rolled out. The designer was Kevin Hale of Particletree, who did a superb job. I want to thank Kevin very much for his hard work on the design and for the end result, which I'm delighted with! There are still bits under construction (in particular a couple of IE7 glitches), but I couldn't wait to go live with it - so I pushed the button earlier this week. I'd love some feedback on the new design, so feel free to leave a comment and tell me what you think.

Also a note about my goals for R/WW. These days I'm attempting to cover the high-level of web20 - market segments, product positioning, Web theory, industry insights, etc. My goal is to provide high quality analysis, while also producing a regular supply of posts. It's possibly ambitious to try and provide high quality posts and at least some of the quantity that other more news-focused web20 blogs pump out. So that's why I'm also on the look-out for more guest bloggers, to help me write insightful and instructive posts about the New Web. Contact me if you're interested!

btw if you missed it, I recommend reading my post on Rhapsody Web Services - in which I interviewed RealNetworks and Rhapsody execs. Also check out PeopleAggregator and Open Social Network Systems for a look at the future of social networks. Finally New Netscape = New Coke? is a story making waves right now.

It'd also be good to have a 'Send Tips" link so we can pass along any useful bit over to you.

Overall, its refreshingly cool.

Btw, who would qualify as a Guest Blogger. ;) (I'd love to contribute, but I've no prior experience in writing 'blogs')

I think the new design looks great!

It's amazing what happens simplicity meets a great layout. Add that to the great content and you have a killer combination.

Keep up the good work. Cheers.

Walter, I think the right column is already fixed width.

Diego, I'm sure Kevin is open to new business! :-)

Ebrahim, thanks for your feedback - much appreciated. Personally I like the red, but I'm interested in others views of it. Re being a guest blogger, can u send me a sample of your writing?

Thanks everyone else for your comments!

Despite using red, it's actually a very relaxing design, with just an undertone of energy. Which kind of suits the pseudo-yin-yang. I'm glad that Kevin didn't borrow a Taoist/ Buddhist symbol and instead adapted it. (Can't remember if you had it before.)

I gotsta get me a design budget.

A professional, stylish and modern design. Definite step up. Interesting that there are IE7 issues. We're going to have to face up to some of those ourselves soon I'm sure. Sigh.

Congrats on the growing number of commenters as well :-)
