So, yes, all the buzz is the new profile design for LJ, which takes the same information that was on the old profile and makes it actually visible.

I really like it. I hear that other people really, really, really don't.

As a favor to me, if you're so inclined to drop by lj_design with your feedback, please do describe the things about it that irk you in as much detail as you can, leaving out as much of the inflammatory language as you can. Knowing what's wrong with it in more detail than "it sucks" is helpful, and can possibly lead to fewer of the things that trigger the suckitude reaction. Cursing at designers, staff, and volunteers is not helpful, and helps widen the rift. Since reaching out and attempting to serve as a liaison between general users and the people who keep LJ running is sort of what I do, in ways that are both formal and informal, it does not make my life easier.

If there's anything that rocks, of course, feel free to share that too. ;)

So. Um. How about those politics?
