A New Day for MMM

Ok, maybe not a new day in the sense of the word that there was a lot of darkness to be had and some sleeping, but MMM does have a new look (finally). Things are not yet done with the entire look and feel, but as of right now, its about 90% done.

One of the things that you might notice if you are looking at MMM on your handheld is that the site degrades nicely on your mobile browser. Granted, I've left out some usability for those with normal phone browsers, but that is something that will be worked into the site as things roll along.

Another thing you might notice missing is the devotionals section. Now don't worry, they will make a comeback with the new look and feel, but those pages take just a bit longer than the rest of the site to hash out.

The links that used to span the side of the page are also not there. No, MMM is not being unkind, but we do want to change how we display the many websites that link to MMM and we to them. So, if you have a neat logo that you do not mind fitting into one of those little gray boxes over there, contact us with that logo so that we can repopulate the links list with the many of you who are MMM supporters and fans.

As for the things that did not change:
We are still on Blogger. At least for the time being. After considering a few MT installations and a redesign, I thought it wise to pick this one first since most of the design work was out of the way and will transfer cleanly to a new system (if we move).

Articles are still in full length, but we will be working to change that so that it makes the articles easier to read in full.

If you have any questions or comments, please do let us know. Or if something is not working (besides the header font in Safari - it's Apple's fault :P ) just let us know. We still have a ways to go and a few neat skins and features to add. Many thanks to the lot of you who have given feedback along the way, and especially the MMM team (who has probably heard enough of me wanting to redesign this site for a long time).

Oh yea, I'll bring back the old color scheme into this design as soon as I can, that color scheme looks neat in this layout.
