I do not want to be overly critical… I mentioned before that I don't much care for the new style of the website, but much of that is strictly a matter of opinion, and I fully admit that I may not be in the majority on that opinion.

However, as a long-time professional Web Developer, let me tell you that your pop-up for signing up for the newsletter is a mistake. Popups are ANNOYING. In surveys, something like 95% of people have said they can't stand them… and that was 5 years ago. Popups do nothing but alienate your audience. As for myself, I won't sign up for any newsletter subscription that appears in the form of a popup. Even yours.

This is intended as advice, not criticism. Really. Popups have been passé for a long time now.
