Paul is Back

So, here’s our new design, featuring the return of Paul Verlaine. What do you think?

There are a lot more site changes on the way, especially a better right nav, a new version of the indie ads program, and better genre/topic article indexing. For now, we just wanted to get the new look up and make sure it doesn’t break anything. Please let us know if it does.

    Paul Verlaine was a nineteenth century poet, but that particular graphic is one of our old familiar favorites. It’s been on LitKicks in one form or another pretty much since there’s been a LitKicks, and it’s good to see the ol’ fella back.

    I like how things are opening up. It feels a little more breezy, not as stuffy. I’m not locked into a topic or two. And it’s nice to see the old fart again.

    Old times

    I used to want the old web site back, but now realise I just wanted the return of Mr Verlaine. Something about that green glow and relaxed mien. It comforts me.

    Now, I’m still trying to figure out the new site design (it’s a bit like a labyrinth). But there’s something very comforting about that dude with wine there. He’s either depressed or chilling. Either way, I am glad he’s there.
