I really like it! Definitely big improvements. (Site speed increase is very noticeable!) Makes it a lot easier to find the articles you are looking for. Very nice changes.

Really like the changes, especially the threads being tied together. Love the look and feel of the home age – makes it very inviting to pull up and chair and stay awhile!

I don’t get to show up every day but always find something useful when I do. Let’s just say that most of the content that I read on AG is worthy of some CE credits.

Hopefully this will be the last design change for at least 30 days… okay?

Thanks for the quick response and clarification. I guess I should have been more clear. There is no “click to read more” link at the end of your feed. I can click over from the reader, but for those that aren’t familiar with the difference between the full feed and a summary feed it may not be immediately obvious that there is more to the story. Here’s how this article looks in Google Reader:

AgentGenius.com has recently undergone a major facelift and network update to better serve the readers of AG. Readers will now have a better user experience with added benefits and features and as with our previous redesigns, we’ve lead the real estate community and never waited for what others do to dictate our direction, and today is no exception. Agent Genius’ site and logo redesign were aimed at keeping the site structure streamlined and focused on aesthetics and flow of information.

So what has changed on Agent Genius? You can now visit pages of our authors (e.g. Jim Duncan) where…

I understand your position on RSS, but it sure does make it a lot easier to organize and follow all the blogs that I do. I don’t mind summary feeds … If the intro grabs me I will click over. But I don’t buy grapes without testing them either.
