I find that a wider line length is more difficult to read because it means the eye has farther to travel when as it finishes one line and zooms to the beginning of the next. It’s not too bad here because you have good leading between the lines and a legible font (and black type against white…really important).

However, for reading on my iPhone, the width is too wide for the font size…that is if I zoom in to make the font size big enough to read then I can’t see the entire paragraph. I have to scroll back and forth–which I won’t bother to do.

I’m probably in the minority but I don’t think bigger photographs are necessarily better. They take longer to download. It’s not a big concern for me because I have a fast computer and high speed connection but not everyone does.

I’ve always loved your design and the graphics and all so I’m glad you kept all that. I don’t think the changes in size are bad but I don’t think they were necessary either.

It looks just great. Chickens are funny creatures aren’t they? When I was stressed, I would just go out and watch them hunt for bugs and other food. The way a rooster shows a tasty morsel to his hens is priceless.~~~dee

I love the picture. It is just too cute! As fort he site, I do not know what it looked like before but it is nice now. It is very reader friendly, the colors are bright and inviting and the font is perfect. It was nice that the chicken picture was so big.

Ok, I am very slow and I always thought T. Boone Chickens was a funny name not realizing — until I just opened up my Sunday paper and saw his name sake the oil tycoon Mr. Pickens–who he was named after! HA!! I had a good chuckle!

What a horror! I’m sorry for your loss of Johhny Cash and VERY grateful that T. Boone is making a recovery.

I once lost a favoite hen to a stray dog and my rooster became very mean afterward. It is hard to keep everyone safe all of the time.

Poor chicken- what a traumatic experience for you and T.Boone.

Also- who are those dumb people who let their dogs roam around. They are NOT wolves and dont need to ramble about at will. Good grief.

Cheers to the thoughtful and SMART dog owners!

Robin – I like the new format — wish I could master the challenge of enlarging my post column. I’ve had one unsuccessful attempt, but I was close — I need another quiet, boring night to tackle it. Glad T. Boone is ok, if not that bright!
