Oh, weird. Maybe my hosts are doing something. Thanks for letting me know.

For nothing, I hope this has been helpful, the truth seemed very strange to me too, I had never seen that. Even when entering from the cell phone that same message comes out.

It isn't my message. I've contacted my host. Hope we haven't been hacked. The message only appears on the front page of the blog, all other pages are fine.

I get the same result when I try to preview a newly edited review. Weird.

[DinoToyForum]

My host updated the web hosting platform, which caused the error.

Here we go again. I was never completely satisfied with the last theme. Is this one better or worse? http://dinotoyblog.com

Hmm, mixed opinions. I like how the old one had popular dinosaurs, recent comments, and all the recent reviews on the side, but I like the style of this one, the colours and smooth corners.

I can easily add all those things to the left side bar. But it will be tall!

I like it better than the previous layout.

Thanks. I do too. It means losing a few sidebar features, but I think it is worth the sacrifice.

I think it looks a great deal less fussy than the previous version.  Clarity is good!

Thanks for the comment. The previous version didn't have a positive impact on visitor behaviour as I hoped it might (new visitors didn't stay longer or explore more pages) which is why I'm looking at a simpler and prettier layout instead.

I've added two space-saving drop down menus to the side bar, one to filter reviews by dinosaur genus, the other to filter reviews by company or dinosaur group.

Also, email notifications for new blog entries is now back for anyone who wants to subscribe to the Dinotoyblog. See the side bar.

It looks good but the old one had a lot of charm for me. But it's natural progression.

I like having email notifications back.

I like having email notifications back.

I knew you would  . I remember you being disappointed when I removed it. It is part of a plugin called Jetpack, which made the site very sluggish at the time, but seems okay now that I've updated the site and server configuration.

I honestly find it hard to read blog posts now, but I always have had trouble reading right aligned things. I guess I can just move my browser window over. Not a big deal.

Are you saying you would prefer the sidebar to be on the right?

[Faelrin]

It might help make the blog posts easier for me to read if you did do that, but I can still just slide my browser window over a bit when I'm reading, if it would be a lot of effort to change. It's never maximized anyways.

I did forget to mention that it is because of my right eye being bad, that right aligned things are a bit harder for me to read. I tend to strain my left eye (which is my 'good' eye that is dominant) in order to do so (or just slide my browser window over as necessary, if it is online anyways, to avoid having to do so). Like the closer it is to my left eye, the easier it is for me to see things without having to strain it. I honestly just wish I could have contacts or glasses or something, but that hasn't been an option for me for years now because I can't afford them and my insurance doesn't cover anything for vision. It sucks.
