Welcome to the beta of the new saila.com. Send in your bugs.
Beta, baby
Welcome to the final stage of this prolonged redesign. Although “beta” is so Web 2.0, that is what this version is. There will still be some old links that are pointed in the wrong location, the design (such as it is) needs some further polish, some strange characters may pop-up, but essentially, it is done.
Along with the new look, the focus of the site is more tuned to longer, less frequently appearing articles. In addition, each of those articles are associated with topics that, in turn, reveal related articles and posts. The Living Can Kill You blog remains (as do other regular features, like the Main Page Rants and Web Design Tips), but notable links are more likely to appear as blogmarks.

How about a re-surrection instead of naming it redesign?

@Ethan: Thanks!
@Johan: If you like to send me some suggested improvements in addition to the two bugs you mentioned (which are now fixed) I’d be happy to hear them. The old site still exists at: http://domstyled.saila.com/ if you do miss it (although it won’t be updated any longer).

Strange enough, I did not mention any bugs.
I just knew about your site from way back, and stumbled today upon your website all new; hence I alluded to resurrection.
Good luck!

@Johan—A ha! The timing of your comment and an IM message from someone with a similar handle confused my distracted self.
I might just use “resurrection” when I pull it out of beta in next week or so.
