I do not like the redesign of Gilded Serpent's front page *at all*.  First of all, it's tacky to let the viewers clearly see that the ads take up an equal amount of real estate to the content.  Secondly, I do not like the keyword method of describing what's in each article.  It's boring and doesn't inspire me to click on any of them.  Finally, I really miss having the posting date next to the article title, because that's how I kept track of whether I had read something or not.  This will be especially annoying now that the articles and reviews are listed in separate areas.

I appreciate a desire to update the look and make it sleeker, but this is not good.

Wow. Ewwwwww. That's really bad. And yes, not having posting dates sucks. And keywords are really for the benefit of search engines, not the reader. Lordy. My eyes are bleeding.

Agree - I've been using that new feature all the time!
It has been good to quell the unquietable costume lust that I am trying to tamp down.

Me too! It's fantastic! Especially now that non-BD sales have been allowed.

Well,I don't love it, but GS has always been ugly and littered with ads. I do think it's a big improvement.

I understand re the missing dates, though. I like reading old articles but it would be nice to have a date context.

Just took a peek and, yeah, that's bad! All those small adverts on the side remind me of the "escort" and massage advert pages in the back of the Village Voice ;-P. Same design with all the small squares and women's pictures - probably not the image they were going for but that's the first thing that popped into my head when I saw it!

Looks like it was reworked by someone with good technical skills but no sense of media/news reporting..
