A slightly new format at Scanning the Dial

Faithful readers, do not adjust your monitors — if Scanning the Dial looks a little different to you, there’s good reason.

We’ve followed the example of our fellow Inside the Arts blogger at Butts in the Seats and moved to a slightly different format, without the Featured Post box that previously appeared near the top of our front page. Also, the list of Latest Articles has been removed — you’ll now find our latest posts in sequence running down the page. We opted for the change to give recent posts a little more real estate on our front page and hope this gives you a better view of our latest blogging from the get-go.

Let us know what you think of the change, yay or nay, with a comment. And as always, thanks for reading!
