Mel from Bonafide Style has a surprise for CQ readers today. She has built a new skin for Captain's Quarters, one which I believe will make the blog much easier to read and navigate. Click here to change to the new skin and check it out for yourself. She's still fine-tuning it for some other purposes, but I think you will find it ready to roll right now.

The new skin keeps the default theme for the blog, but makes the following changes:

* A new two-column format for better text presentation
* The placement of the flash ad in the banner
* New java-based operation for blog utilities
* Faster load time for posts

Leave your comments and any problems you have in the comments to this post. Mel and I will review the feedback. Once we have finalized the design, we'll make sure it's accessible through the skins page. (You can switch back to your earlier skin there if you have a problem loading this one.)

Enjoy!

BUMP TO TOP, 8/8: Good comments so far. Keep in mind that you will have to have Java enabled in your browser to see some of these elements. Mel has made a number of adjustments based on your feedback, so it's much appreciated. (And if you're looking for a web designer that is responsive and talented, Mel's putting on quite a show for you ...)
