Cheeky - Yes, I've been on SI since 1996, and I do recall the recent reworking. Unfortunately, it left the color scheme and "logo" intact. I put that in quotation marks because it isn't a true logo, but an illustration that I suppose is intended to convey the concept of "community". Yes, I say let Bill Ulrich give the site a makeover if he will do it and the powers that be will allow it. Since the site is now styled using CSS, according to that link, it would be easy to make changes. Just edit the style sheet. [edit] I just looked at the source of this page, and though a style sheet is used, there is also a "background color" declaration in the <body> tag. That's not allowed under current web standards, and certainly shouldn't be necessary if you have a style sheet anyway. Better to declare the background color there. Also, there is no doctype declaration, which is something good web developers look askance at. I say all of this only in the spirit of constructive criticism. - Allen

The site just went through a rework a while back, see: magneticdiary.com If it needs more work, let Bill Ulrich do it. He's as good as they come, does fantastic work!! Do not trust Bill Ulrich with your money. He took $1500 from my business in May 2007 and never delivered anything and has been avoiding me since he agreed to return the money. Another member of SI had partial work delivered but he stopped working on it and ceased to be cooperative or return my communications. He took zero initiative.
