I'm all up for changes and updates but this one throws me off.
On my 1440X900 laptop monitor the first screen is taken by the flash "ad." Somebody learned an on mouse event for flash and that is cool but it doesn't tell my why I should be there.
I have to scroll down to get to any actual information, this should be the top news, The logo gets lost next to the banner up top, similar colors.
It's a good attempt, needs some adjusting. This is not the only site that does this minor anoyance (my personal view). I don't think a website should waste so much space at the entry point, your homepage should be the stepping stone to all great things.
To the people at Baen thanks for what you do, keep up the good work and I'm sure you'll find a balance with the re-design that appeals to most users.
