There's always the "WTF is this new stuff anyway? I was comfortable and cozy with the old one". Understandable, but don't let the "new stuff" factor blind you to any good things the new design has too :) > Also you do not need big pictures in the center of the site, it should > be filled with important texts (as it used to be). Important for whom? Others will quickly jump up and start arguing that "a couple of well placed, catchy images are worth a thousand words each". Note that I don't necessarily disagree with what you are saying. I'm only stating the fact that these are *YOUR* opinions, which you have *every* right to have but it should probably take a lot more than ``This sucks, fix it'' to get anything done :)
