not loving the craftster.org redesign

If you know me, I regularly check www.craftster.org for all sorts of crafty and design ideas.

Today I went to check quick and was startled by the new design.  I’m not a fan, but I guess I’ll get used to it.  I think it’s a design downgrade, but what do you think?

Old Design
This is the old design and the screenie was taken from the way back machine…so it’s missing a lot of stuff. Ignore the giant white space block. I can’t remember what was there, but it looked good. :)   Also, the taped note on the new design was on the top of this design last I checked, but it was more photographic not vectorized.
blech. Not as interesting as the old design and it seems pretty cluttered. Also not as colorful.
