Welcome to the New BroncoTalk

After months of tweaking the site redesign, tossing it out, starting it over, tossing that out, and starting over again, we’ve finally settled on a layout that fits what we want to do with our little blog. Welcome to the new, community-focused version of BroncoTalk!

About the layout

The first thing you may notice is the rotating header images, handcrafted by our own Jonathan Douglas. Each time you refresh (try it!) you’ll get a random pick of 5 banners. We plan on doing our best to keep these up to date (ahem, the Javon Walker banners may be leaving the rotation soon…).

The new site is easier on the eyes (read: less orange), but we’re still working out some kinks. For instance, our embedded poll has gone completely wacky, so we’ve taken it out until we can figure out what’s making it go Al Davis on us.

The search form is pretty handy – and for those readers in foreign countries, I’ve added translation symbols to quickly change to and from 7 languages of your choice. Most everything else is the same, albeit changed aesthetically.

The Community

The big change: only registered, logged-in users can comment on the site. Luckily we’ve made it easy for you to make sure you fall in that group.

Not a member? Click ‘Register’ in the top-left corner of the site. It only takes 2 minutes. You can then login in two ways – on the top-right login form, or in the Comments section of any post. Best of all (by popular request), logging in will now make sure you’re returned back to the page you were just viewing.

Your Opinion on the Redesign

Let me know what you think! I’m really interested to hear your thoughts on the new layout. Love it or hate it, your thoughts are the only way I’ll improve the next redesigns in the future.
