So if something doesn’t work as expected or the page you’re looking for is no longer there then keep in mind it’s just temporary. The errors will disappear by tomorrow.

O.O
Very nice layout makeover.
I like the new design a lot. Clean, simple and easy to navigate.
Keep up the great work and have a merry x-mas!
Nice, i like it. Its more lightweighted.
Was surprised intially because it looks so different now. Looks clean, but I will was so used to the old layout, may take a day or two to get used to the new layout.
Love the new design
Cleaner and more pleasing to the eye. Simplistic, yet detailed enough to find what you need.
You got my vote!
Nice design! Clear and minimalist, just as I like it
Congrats!
and……………. loads alot faster.
Very nice theme. Would awesome if you’d share it with other WordPress users… *wink* *wink*
But seriously, it very clean and I’m adapting to it very quickly. One thing though I can’t find (maybe missing), is the Next/Previous page links for the latest articles/posts pages (like the homepage). You must add this code to your index.php:
WOW! new design is cool, light, and pages are loading faster and everything is fine.
Great Design! it is more clearer and the directory aps link is more exposure than before
No doubt, the new design is cleaner but the emphasize seems to be on the ads instead of content.
I like the fat footer though.
@Aibek May be this theme loads Makeuseof fast,I guess old design is great this one all white in color looks quite dull to me it is not catching the eyes,It will take some time for us to adjust to the look,this is my personal opinion only.
Sorry Aibek for another comment I missed one valid point ,you put 5 posts per page and forgotten including previous entries link .
nice redesign! keep up the cool new stuff MUO crew!
Nice clean layout but there’s way to much white for my taste.
Love the new layout. Clean. Simple. Minimalistic. =)
A tad too much white space though. =|
Very nice change! Looks much nicer!
Nice layout Aibek.Infact it’s clutter free..
I hope it loads faster than the old.
Love the site, great job! I like the categories and their icons a lot too.
Great new design. Now it looks 100% web 2.0
Though I am used to the old desigh, so it will take time to adapt to this design.
Just add a “little” grey to the background color, like it used to be before.
And please, share this theme with other wordpress users.
Wow! I love the new design, very clean and minimalistic!
I like the new design, its simple!! However I think the top of part could be improved (The area where the logo is)
I agree. Love the new design but the logo area need a little more work. I love this site!!! Keep up the great work!!
more details ?
only 5 posts per page! make it 10!
other than that though, much, much nicer website much easier to find what ur looking for
Done!
@ EVERYONE
Thanks for the comments, glad to hear that most of you liked the new design. We are still going to change a few things in the coming two weeks, including most of the suggestions mentioned above.
Wow, first time I’ve been to this site in a while. This design is almost like the old, old design – good work…
I love the new design. Very clean and professional and definitely a great improvement. Good job!
Great redesign! I have always liked the minimalist look.
Just thought I would mention an observation: It seems that all of your permalinks have ‘tag’ in the URL. Was that intentional or are you still working on the new theme? I normally set my permalink structure to /%category%/%postname%/ for better SEO, but yours may be set to /tag/%postname%/.
Feels more inviting maybe. Good work if that’s what you were after.
The lighter treatment at the top makes it easier to engage with. I guess that is about enough different ways of saying essentially the same thing.
