    The new design looks amazing, I love the new logo and the general look of the site very slick :)

    Now this is what I call a good design. Everything is perfect and I like the pictures and the header.
  • Israel · 2 years ago
    very slick, i wish my banner would have been accepted.
  • PropertyIreland · 2 years ago
    Best blog redesign I have seen of any of the recent ones...
    well done.

    one issue spotted - when you click on any of the names on the live milkers div, you get a 404 error, but besides that, as i said above, well done...
    also just spotted below the Submit Comment button the checkbox with no detail as to what it is, i presume its subscribe to comments but no harm in putting that there.

    Hope this loading time was just a one time deal. Seemed to load quite a while.

    Very interesting theme though, very unique.
  • Sujan Patel · 2 years ago
    New Theme looks great.
  • browie · 2 years ago
    Sorry for double but I just noticed REPLY is not an option to other comments. :(
  • TenthOfMarch · 2 years ago
    The fonts for the sidebar look strange to me.
  • Sly from Slyvisions.com · 2 years ago
    PropertyIreland, I agree. I love the little car picture on the comments box as well. :smile:
  • David · 2 years ago
    Also, did you know you have two posts in Uncategorized?
  • David · 2 years ago
    Oh, and what's the check box below Submit Comment?
  • Ad Tracker · 2 years ago
    Very cool. I REALLY like the "Live Milkers" feature. Very Web 2.0. :mrgreen:
  • PropertyIreland · 2 years ago
    Sly, yeah the car looks cool, maybe should be called the moocar???
    a few other issues as others mentioned above, site could be optimised a lot better for speed increases, a few font tweaks and still some javascript errors showing, but i'm sure only teething problems to be expected, all will be well and still looking super cool soon...
  • Average Joe Blogger · 2 years ago
    Let me just say that this design rocks. Very well done. Couple of nit picky comments though:

    1. You've misspelled John Chow's name (Joh Chow). Maybe that's on purpose though. :twisted:
    2. I agree that the fonts in the sidebar look a little off. Maybe change it to be the same as the "buy me milk" text or at least increase the spacing between lines.
    3. The car in the comment box makes it slightly hard to see what you are typing. It's a nice touch, but maybe take the opacity down a bit.
    4. I am assuming that the check box below the submit button is for new comment notifications. The reason I am assuming is because I don't see any text next to it.

    Like I said, these are nit picky things. I love the new design and I'll admit, I'm a little jealous.
  • Jason · 2 years ago
    very cool design, really amazing

    But where is the reply to comment? you remove it on purpose?
  • Lori Falcon · 2 years ago
    Talk about picky..no offense Joe but your site is a little "average" :mrgreen:

    I for one LOVE IT and I can view in IE.....YEEEHAAW!!

    The header is awesome:)
  • Hyder · 2 years ago
    Thanks to everyone for their comments. Most of the issues addressed have been looked over by me as they were posted.

    Regarding the sidebar font size, sometimes bigger is better. But all suggestions will be taken into consideration.

    As always, there will be a few bugs till it nears perfection.
  • KiwiPulse · 2 years ago
    I love the new design of the Moo..BlOG. :cool:
  • Gary · 2 years ago
    It's.. Beautiful! :eek:

    Amazing work from SOSFactory, as per usual.
  • Sami · 2 years ago
    haha, this is the best design I ever seen looooooooooooool
  • Steven · 2 years ago
    Holy cow there's a lot of comments today ^_^

    New themes seem to always draw more commentators =]
  • Jorge · 2 years ago
    Great work! :mrgreen:
    One of the best designs I have ever seen!
  • YC · 2 years ago
    I actually like this - very cute :twisted: Great job!
  • GnomeyNewt · 2 years ago
    So cute. I love cows and its perfect fit for you moooers. :c)
  • Julie · 2 years ago
    Wow, I'm actually speechless. I just love everything about it. The colors, the header, and then when I scrolled down to make a comment....I love what you did with the bottom of the page. Very nice. You definitely found a great person to give you a re-design. Job well done on all parts!

    I bet you're exhausted. :smile:
  • Wayne Liew · 2 years ago
    No more cows and only cow skins? :lol: Nevertheless, this is a great theme, expected! :mrgreen:
  • Charles · 2 years ago
    whooaaaa.. cool header graphics design. way coolll. Overall, the theme rocks. :smile:
  • jerrykhoo · 2 years ago
    Congrates on your new theme. Did a review of this site with some comments for certain improvements. if you so incline, do check it out at

    Great look overall.
  • just me · 2 years ago
    I like the blog layout. I like your content. I like the ads...they made me click.
    But I hate to say it, I don't really care for the cartoon thing. I thought the cows were way more cool....kinda like sophisticated silliness and cool design.

    The cartoon to me just says bumpkin to me which doesn't seem to fit with your great content. So I realize you must have worked hard on this, but I wanted to give you honest feedback.

    The cartoon is well done. I just don't think it's right for your blog.
  • MyBlogContest · 2 years ago
    Very nice theme design!!
  • Brian Vaughan · 2 years ago
    looks great cow, looks great
  • roffi · 2 years ago
    I miss the old cows
  • Laura · 2 years ago
    Awesome job, I love it!
  • Cash Quests · 2 years ago
    Nice. Has some very cool and original features. Considering you pretty much used the tagline I suggested I get $50, right?
  • Colin Klinkert · 2 years ago
    Wow bro, best blog redesign to date! awesome job
  • Vincent Chow · 2 years ago
    I like the logo, looks cool :wink:
  • Nate Whitehill · 2 years ago
    Great design! Congrats!
  • Blog Contests · 2 years ago
    Try changing the pot font to something bigger. Looks good otherwise.
  • Karthik · 2 years ago
    Now this is what I call a theme re-design!
    Awesome is one word that best describes it. So far, this is the best theme makeover that I've come across, I'm sure this is will be very difficult to beat. Looks very Web 2.0 and very pleasing.

    Just a few things:
    1. The font on the sidebar looks fine to me, maybe you've already fixed it?
    2. The car in this comment box could be moved further down so as to fit in the corner - looks rather abandoned now :(
    3. The checkbox below the Submit Comment button still looks lonely without the text.
    4. When we highlight text in the comment as we type, it just turns into a milder colour, doesn't really give us the feeling that it is highlighted.
    5. The text input to enter our email for subscribing looks more like a button to me, maybe you could tone the opacity down a bit?

    They're just my personal opinion though!
    Again, the theme looks amazing!
  • The Monetizer · 2 years ago
    Love the new cow theme, a Moo-ve in the right direction! The cows as cars and the RSS style also love it! Keep up the great work here, you have a very enjoyable and creative blog..ok no more ass kissing :)
  • Angel · 2 years ago
    Good stuff. My thoughts:

    Do you really need two navigation bars?

    The background color is a little drab.

    Do you really drive a car like that?
  • 2xKnight · 2 years ago
    Lookin' good. My only dislikes are purly a matter of opinion, colors and such, so I'll keep that to myself. I wish I could afford to hire Hyder to redo my site.

    I miss the old cows too.
  • 2xKnight · 2 years ago
    Oh, just wanted to add.

    A lot of your comments don't make any sense now without the threaded comments. There's no way to know who you're talking to on the old posts.
  • Nuts & Milk · 2 years ago
    wow this is cool! :mrgreen:
  • ????? (Jason) · 2 years ago
    I love the new design. This has got to be the best looking blog online :eek:
  • Steven · 2 years ago
    I think the comment section needs to be threaded like the old theme and make the alternating color darker, hard to see the difference between the white and off white. Also maybe just put the 6 square ads in the sidebar without having the extra box around them. I think it would look smoother. Just some suggestions.
  • betshopboy · 2 years ago
    Very very unique and awesome design! Love the new cartoon header!
  • boringman · 2 years ago
    now.. it is more different than other j.c.
    hope this blog will give moore interesting writing...
    I like your cartoon.. what's his name??? don't want to do some contest???
  • max · 2 years ago
    Hey, just bought you some milk! Great job you are doing on your site. :)
  • Mr. Rajawang · 2 years ago
    I like it more than shoe's and the big beef himself. ! well done..moooooooooooo.
  • Sarat Chandran · 2 years ago
    The new theme is cowtastic! :lol:

    Really, it looks great. Especially the header.
  • Wayne Liew · 2 years ago
    Wait a minute!! Where's the threaded comment plugin? :shock: Not compatible?
  • Mike · 2 years ago
    I like it, it's more in the moo style :P I saw the theme on Hyder's blog and i said WOW!

    I also like this blog does not resemble JohnChows one so much, but i'm wondering what happend to the cows in the header :)
  • Googlelady · 2 years ago
    would like to congratulate the cows about their new design is a cool design. ;)
  • Hasbullah Pit · 2 years ago
    The blue cow will look betterin orange like rss logo.
    :mrgreen:
  • Ruchir · 2 years ago
    OMG! Your new theme is just soooo sleeek. I just fell in love with it :lol: Man, I'm going to order a from weborithim too...

    Can you tell how much it cost??
  • Hyder · 2 years ago
    Ruchir, just head on over to www.weborithm.com and get in touch with me. Thanks.
  • Matt Jones · 2 years ago
    Looks fantastic! great work!
  • CristianR · 2 years ago
    Amazing design. I simply love it.
  • SEO Resource · 2 years ago
    Great design, and i LOVE the header and the sarcasm ;) well done
  • Sorin · 2 years ago
    The picture from the header is awesome!
  • krillz · 2 years ago
    this design is clean, very nice, outdone chow himself on this one. :D
  • Stanley · 2 years ago
    The design is nice, but your site was slow before... now it's just crawling! Time to get a faster server.
  • Emma · 2 years ago
    Very impressive, Mr. Cow. :cool:
  • Cheapgirl · 2 years ago
    Wow, Looks great!!
  • IngaOz · 2 years ago
    As I said before - it's really great job, your new theme looks fantastic, love it for sure! I believe it cost you a lot of money.. but then again - it truly worths it :)
  • David · 2 years ago
    Nice theme, I suppose that's getting a little boring by now though :wink:
    Heads up! Your subscription box could do with a little makeover. You know this web 2.0 AJAX trick that auto-clears a subscription form when clicked saving the user from having to clear an input box manually. I had to do just that i.e manually clear the "Subscribe" message manually to subscribe. I use Firefox 2.0.
  • Marc Eilbeck · 2 years ago
    great looking new design!
  • SOSFactory · 2 years ago
    Hello John Cow, very pleased to work for you :mrgreen: . Nice to see the theme online, at the end I think the header looks very good.

    I think the whole theme looks great, I just would change the green background to white and I would delete the red border in the box. You would save lot of space in margings.

    Cheers.

  • Joyce Babu · 2 years ago
    Cool design. Green is a color that I like very much. Good work.
  • Joyce Babu · 2 years ago
    BTW, did you remove Brian's Threaded Comments plugin? It was really useful.
  • DotDriven · 2 years ago
    As everyone has already said it looks great. Man, what a good time to be a (good) designer...I am sure there are plenty of really hungry bloggers who all want some new designs like all the big boys are getting lol.

    Designers (or rich bloggers) consider sponsoring a contest with an awesome blog redesign as the prize ;). I know I would love to win that and sure most others would as well!
  • KingJacob · 2 years ago
    I love the new design, usually I have some little critique but not this time its perfect and will definently make you some nice cash.
  • Word Hugger · 2 years ago
    Very nice. =)
  • Word Hugger · 2 years ago
    ..and wouldn't it be the hottest design known to cow?
  • digitalnomad · 2 years ago
    Everyone loves a winner.
  • browie · 2 years ago
    Now I'm wondering how much of that $749 for a new blog design Mr. Cow paid for.

    Maybe this is Mr. Cow's new venture, made his own design and now using this as a tool to start up his own design place....

    anyone with thoughts? (maybe i'm way off LoL)
  • GettyCash · 2 years ago
    :razz: I love this blog theme... Moooooo
  • Joyce Babu · 2 years ago
    Two things I like very much with the new design is the resizing menu at top and the Live milker plugin.
  • Sandra · 2 years ago
    Very slick design. I especially like the header!
  • knupNET · 2 years ago
    Good theme! Nice design! Good luck!
  • mike · 2 years ago
    I think it's the best of the new theme debuts around the net.
  • browie · 2 years ago
    This post is getting close to your contest comments. Big news on cow.com huh?
  • Carl · 2 years ago
    This is what my poor little blog wants to be when it grows up...
  • keyword_rank_checker · 11 months ago
