I am seeing some names I recognize among the new joiners—BUT I’m not getting the letters that need to accompany the registration, which new joiners have to write. Is the address visible?
Are you seeing the ‘contact’ info on the top line?

Yes, the email addy is in the blue bar up top, in the tab that says contact info. Some might be confused, but it’s there.
Yes, it’s there.
Thanks.
Commentyes, and it’s blue, can’t miss it
In the blue bar at the top, on the right hand side, I see the link for Contact Info between the About Me and Closed Circle links. Clicking the Contact Info link gets visitors to the email addresses for closed-circle.net and for CJ’s own email.
In the white menu bar just below it, there is supposed to be a linked image on the left. It is consistently showing a “missing image” question mark. This is to the left of the Home, Projects, and Miscellaneous links on the right. I believe the missing image and link are to get back to the blog’s front page (its home or index, topmost, root page).
The new theme looks fresh and clean and uncluttered, with good use of whitespace.
I think it was Walt who had asked about the color scheme and suggested reds and warm earth tones or possible purples? I have two qualifiers on that: It’s difficult for me to distinguish dark blues from black, though a brighter or teal / aqua blue is OK. Two, I would strongly caution against brightest red at text sizes on white, or vice versa, with a book-weight font, and urge far more caution against orange, gold, or yellow with white, even at display heading sizes. Instead, more contrast is needed for readability and comfort, in font-size, font-weight, and in color contrast, so a bit darker red through yellow when used with white is much easier for people to read. A shade such as 10% darker red is what is commonly used in print (or was). That’s also true of one of the standard Pantone spot colors for “Blue,” which is instead cyan but 10% darker; i.e., they mix 10% black in with red or cyan for those spot colors, whereas there’s another more royal blue also, just to confuse things. Heh, sorry for the digression and talking shop. You and Jane both have good color sense, and are practical about readability. (Unlike too many current product designers; the current fad for yellows and oranges with white is hard for me to see, even in large sizes, such as at the grocery store on product packaging. They are supposed to be taught better I design theory, but it’s done a lot anyway these days.)
I’m cool with cyan and blue or red and gold. Heck, I love color period. 🙂 It’s all good when it’s done tastefully.
Was I supposed to write a letter? I think I joined around the time I started having major memory issues…And I just want to be sure I went through the correct procedure.
