Say, while you’re redesigning, would it be possible to put the radio back up? One of the reasons I loved your site was because I could jump about the room whilst listening to “Start Wearing Purple” as loud as my little laptop speakers could handle.

Please bring it back.

RHJG: I agree. I still have a nostalgia for the original Jewlicious Russian shiksa mascot!

a separate message board would be really cool, but definitely leave the comments and everything, too.

i don’t miss Kathleen so much as i miss the girl who was on here when i first visited the site. she had on a grey hashem shirt and had dark hair…? definitely the “original” jewlicious girl to me.

I agree with Half-Jew. I miss old Jewlicious. The posts were so interesting that I dint care about the layout. I remember refreshing the page dozens of times back in the day. Your contagious love of Israel made me drop everything and go to Yerushalayim for as long as I could. Now you are becoming the establishment of the e-media (I am sure some of you might want to argue that you already are) and I feel things slow down. You want to include other people into the process. you were always elitist and although many times it was annoying because of who you are (diversity, class and format of who you are) it always ended up to be your mark of … (I dont know you, have to insert some nice word by yourself).
So sure change the site, the gal, make it more user friendly but give me back my old Jewlicious too!

How about some Web 2.0 features, Digg-style. If you implement registration, members should be able to “digg-down” comments (especially spam) and vote for favorite stories.
P.S. Unbelievable new mentos ‘n coke video on Google Video.

I like the faster loading. Makes your site much more likely to be viewed, and there’s a lot of good stuff going on here.

Also — love love love the Moby! Thank you!!!

The ATOM feed is worse. It has the same problems as RSS, and it screws up apostrophes and other marks leaving hex codes.

What’s wierd about the link problem is that its not the link itself. The summary and full view have the same link. But when you follow the link from Google Reader(I can’t comment on other programs) it takes you to the summary page.

I like the site links on the side to add the feed, but you’re missing the “add to livejournal” option (the method I use to read Jewlicious most of the time).

livejournal.co...

Lots of usable images to be found around LJ too.

Well Avi and Ari … point me to a simple place where it shows how I can change the RSS feed parameters and I will. Try the ATOM feed: It’s jewlicious.com...

Not a big fan of the message board thing – unless you put a P.M. function in it, to keep the one on one discussions to a minimum. I think the comments section alone forces us to be be more thoughtful before sending (although, maybe not so concise). middle – all the controversy seems to come from the comments section anyways, as does a lot of contributions and relevant linx. All in my humble… IMHO… oh, what the blog…

A couple minor issues with the RSS feed. I’d prefer to see the whole post and not just the start of it. Also, when you click on the link referenced in the RSS it should take you to the full article and comments, not to a summary with only the headings.

Boo to discussion boards.

More contributors and more controversy. We’re pablum these days.

I miss Kathleen. That’s a way better pic of her than we’ve been staring at for the past year.

I miss the old Jewlicious.
I feel that since the summer , Jewlicious has been a bit weak. There used to be timely and interesting articles about whats going on with world jewry, disucssions around halacha, and in general -things that make you go hmmm…

Heh. The message boards, not so much. Good RSS feeds is all I need. (which you might already have, I haven’t tried to put you into my bloglines lately.)

I don’t really have a strong opinion about message boards, I do like the idea of people being able to submit topics and I really like the idea of the daily digest.

Keep up the good work!
