SkepticReport is looking somewhat different from today. A new design, and particularly a new information architecture, made necessary by the large number of articles.

A new centerpiece is the Cross Reference, where not only the articles in SkepticReport are indexed, but also many books on skeptical, supernatural, paranormal issues, as well as magazines, websites and other sources. It is updated regularly.

Enjoy!

Quick comment the graphics at the top aren't that clear

That cross reference thing is very impressive.

Ayup. :)

It is extremely helpful. If you have the books, you can merely look it up, without going through all your other books. If you don't have the books, you can mosey down to the library or bookstore, and look it up there.

Of course, if it is a skeptical book, you should buy it!

(As long as you realize you have to click on a second letter... mind you who would be so stupid not to realize that... )

It's already so big that I will soon have to consider putting in a third letter....

The "pay attention" is supposed to be something you should not notice, but if you do, you get the idea.

I'll consider making the links bigger.

Don't think they have to be bigger - I just think made a tad clearer - try not using as much anti-aliasing when rendering the text?
 
Cool! And a very impressive number of articles. Didn't realize that when I last visited your site about a week ago, whe you still had the old design.

However, some of the typo is extremely small (clicky thumbnail below):

Which exactly?

The left side, menu and especially the search boxes. I just replaced the screenshot in my previous post, it is not blurred anymore by JPG and you can clearly see how the pages looks like over here.

Better but it is your anti-aliasing that is very strong that causes the illegibility issue I was mentioning - look at the blown up version I've attached, it is only a minor criticism mind you.

I wanted to try something I've seen work well on other sites: Text in input boxes have a different styling. I'll think about it.

Anyhow, you're using a Mac, so it is against my religion to speak to you. :p

Okies.
 
Hey, I'm on the front page! Woo hoo!

Unfortunately, I noticed that two of the links in my article are no longer available.
:(
