Feedback wanted: new homepage

[momijizukamori]

Hey all! I just finished converting the index/homepage, both logged out and logged in, to Foundation/Template Toolkit. It's live on the canary server (see here for how to access that).

The changes aren't really big enough to warrant a full beta setting, but I wanted to get more more feedback on it before we merge it, and logged in users may be bypassing it, usually (I just have my reading list bookmarked, for instance).

Okay, that's weird. I checked your account and you're not in the beta update page test, so you shouldn't be seeing that URL at all -- you should still be seeing https://www.dreamwidth.org/update instead. I'll poke at this and see if I can figure out what's going on.

If I need to, can I have permission to log into your account as you and see what exactly is happening in the process? I will use it only for trying to solve this for you and not anything else, and "no" is a perfectly okay answer -- there are a few things I could try that wouldn't involve actually logging in as you -- but it will probably be a lot easier than asking you ten thousand questions back and forth.

EDIT: ha, momijizukamori beat me to it! Yeah, let us know what workflow you're using to update first, I forgot to ask that part.

Sure, you have my permission to log in as me, that’s no problem. I’m also experiencing a weird look on the official DW homepage…though LMK if it’d be easier to tackle one thing at a time. Also, would you please clarify what ‘workflow?’
