New Header – by Popular Request
I’ve resisted changing Syntagma’s header for over a year because I liked it.
However, so many people were complaining their eyes hurt when they looked at it — a good indicator of traffic levels — that I have finally bowed to the popular mood and endless clamour of the blogosphere, and redone the whole thing.
For those folk nostalgic for the old one, fear not. It lives on in the sidebar. And that’s not just because I can’t be bothered to alter it. Its fans can gaze at it and fondly recall “the old days”.
The new one reflects our changing face and role as “a publisher of network magazines”. The effect of old vellum alludes to the paper past of the print format, as well as its durability. After all, no website has lasted as long as the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Maybe Syntagma will be the first.
Only 49 to go.

You just might, Clive. It’s a funny old world.

Hmm… maybe not all of them, Art NYC I quite like with its Manhatten skyline and all, plus A Literary Life and Rhythms and Riff‘s new iteration…

You know, you could well be right HART, but I’m so busy right now I don’t have the time.

Ian, yes, not all of them. Clive has done wonders with some of them, and I’ve contributed a soupcon or two.

Thanks Ellen, but I think simplicity is the order of the day.
