Hi all!

You may have noticed that Jack of All Links has changed! Indeed, major work was completed on revamping the look and feel of the Jack of All Links site. This should bring us more in-line with what our users expect. Some of the major changes include:

  • Increasing the active real estage usage of each page to 97%, which will give us much more space to put content.
  • Decreasing the stylesheet filesize to make the site quicker to load
  • Increasing contrast between text and graphics
  • Selecting a proper, readable font
  • Selecting colors that scream “Jack of All Links”

We hope you enjoy the new changes that we’re bringing to Jack of All Links. Keep your eyes peeled for even more developments coming your way!

If you would like to leave feedback about the new color scheme, please do so by either posting a comment below or writing us an E-Mail at suggestions@jackofalllinks.com
