Dramabeans gets fancy new duds
by girlfriday
Hey, check out the fancy new threads we’re sporting! Every kdrama Cinderella gets a shiny new makeover, and dramabeans was feeling left out. So we took her for a spin at the website-makeover spa and salon, and this is how she came out!
We worked really hard on this redesign (as in, directed people much more talented than us), and hope you love it as much as we do! Consider it an early Christmas gift. We hear Santa’s been ’round these parts lately.
Take a leisurely tour and reacquaint yourself with where things are, and thanks for your patience during the switchover!
A moment of silence, and one last look at dramabeans’ old outfit. We wore you to prom, to midnight shows of cult classics, and through many breakups. Fare thee well, old friend.

Had a minor panic attack when I thought that I had forgotten the correct spelling of 'dramabeans,' and was on better looking tribute site (it could happen) Relief was followed by minor heart palpitations when I couldn't find the rotating headers link(what?...it calms me). Crisis resolved (for now at least) and I absolutely love your new digs!

Good luck but I don't like the new design. This site was one of my favorites, because it was so clean and well organized, but now it looks like many other commercial sites.
The grey color doesn't work for me, especially with the mix of green and orange. Some of the important links are lost down there... I'm gonna miss the old design.

I miss the old layout (person who does not like change).
Please don't get mad at me. I think the mustard and the green need to be changed to different colors. Both make the page look a little washed out. The blue you used before stood out more. It looked brighter and had a crisper quality to it.
I like the new layout though. :D (So please don't send the lynch mob after me) :D

Love the new look, not that I didn't like the old look, but this one seems to be clearer, neater, and a lot easier to read.
Looking forward to the next makeover 3 years from now ;)

javabeans, I've always wondered: how do you read all the comments and even respond to some of them? If someone posts a comment on an old post ( from Jan.14, 2007, for example), do you get a notification, or do you not see it unless you happen to go back to an old post?

The author of a post gets an email every time a new comment comes in (unless you switch the feature off). So I won't get comments on GF's posts, nor she on mine.
This means sometimes I have hundreds of new emails in my inbox, which can get overwhelming and I may skim or miss some. I TRY to read as many comments as possible, and I used to read them all, but these days I know there are some I miss. I try, but I'd rather spend hours writing posts than reading emails!

My only problem with this new layout is that now, I have to click on "More" in order to read the complete story, which is kind of troublesome for a fanatic like me who likes to read all the articles.

August 7, 2010 at 10:30 AM
I think it was like this before though. Didn't we always have to press more to read the longer articles?
Required fields are marked *

August 7, 2010 at 10:37 AM
But more words of each article was shown in the general page, until it was cut off. Thus more of the articles (like the short ones) we could read completely without have to click on the more information link.
I agree with you #50 hehe... I often at least skim through everything.

I hear you on that. I'll miss aspects of the old design as well, like the super-huge photos of pretty people, which you'll still see on the inside page but not as much on the front. And I liked keeping shorter posts on the front page too.
But there's always good with bad, and vice versa. And I felt we were LONG past due for a change! I hope people will appreciate the new design as they get more accustomed to seeing it, since a crap-ton of work went into perfecting every detail. I've been seeing it for more than a month so I've had plenty of time to get used to it.
