Welcome To The All New Dieline!
Welcome to the all new Dieline! We have redesigned and recreated the site from the ground up, to add new features and to allow us to continue to expand and grow our community. The blog now features a a wider design which puts the focus on what you come here for, the beautiful content. The forum is all new, and the directory has been completely relaunched. It now includes categories for package design firms, packaging photographers, software companies, prototypers, and packaging suppliers, and is easier to add your company.
The new site also features a better integrated search, and user profiles. You can create one login to post comments, post in the forum, add your company to the directory, enter the next Dieline Awards, subscribe to updates, and to connect and email fellow Dieliners!
We hope you like the changes! Don't forget to register an account above, add your company to the directory, start a thread in the forum, and share your thoughts on the new design below.

Looking good! Are you guys on WordPress? Or another platform?
Your new RSS feed is serving NO images (previously, you were serving the first 1-2 images per post). To be frank, I'm not going to come to your site to read every post; I choose which posts to read from looking at the preview images in your feed... no images means no visits from me. Please fix this!
Hi Guys, Thanks for continuing to improve the site. However, I've noted a problem on the comments section. A gent named Pedro and I had a rousingly good discussion on the "Museum Quality or Market Success" article comments section, with several back and forth responses. The new comments section does not (or has not yet) related those comments together, so the relevance of most of our comments has been totally lost. To me, with the addition of articles and the ability to interact with other readers, thedieline.com was fast becoming a great place to learn and speak and discover and connect. Let's please not lose this great feature. Thanks in advance!
Encountered the same problem with the rss feed. Please resolve the problem soon.
Feed should be all fixed. Make sure you are using the right feed: feed://feeds.feedburner.com/TheDieline
Website loads slower than the old one and the text on some posts are all not justified properly now but overall looks cleaner now though I prefer the old design more
Congrats for ur work. You are making great. For me personaly this site is inspirational. Thanks!!!!!!!

Brilliant! I love the Dieline and this is really great news. Well done guys :)
thedieline.com is the first site i visit as soon as i turn on my syetem... Today somehow, i dint have the same feeling i get while browsing the site! The font you have used for the titles is somehow getting jittery... the prev design was more close to my heart!
Definitely an improvement over the old version, much cleaner and the wider content area is appreciated. However, it feels the right column was designed to artificially widen the website, when it could be narrower and offer the same functionality. (But I'm guessing the ads are more important)
Also, while i love the custom typography, it looks awful on Windows XP. Thin typefaces really suffer from the jaggy rendering.
Looks great! I'm on a wide screen Mac. I think the ads look better set apart from the main content - they look is cleaner and helps me focus on the content better.
Loving the new design. I felt the last version was starting to look a little cluttered.
Keep up the good work!!!
Definitely loving the cleanup and organization of the right side bar. Wish the search was still over there, though. (Clicking to a new search page is an unnecessary extra step...)
RSS looks good now, but I agree that the conversation/thread aspect of the comments section was nice. Although people can just do it themselves (with "@Whoever- Response blah blah blah" or something).
Overall, nice job!
please fix the rs feed image thingy :)
oh... and the titles are jagged :\
This sight has always been a great resource for me, but with the lack of images in reader- I too will bail. IF you have any other solutions, I'd love to hear them, but site skipping is not in my future.
Thanks for the resource.
The new site looks good, but I have to say I'm disappointed your rss feed now only shows me one image and the first line of text for most posts. In all honesty I'm not going to visit your site to read every article, and now that there is even less of a preview, it's even more unlikely I will click-through to visit your site.
At one time, a couple of years ago, your full post was available in the feed. Those were the days!
Hi everyone, just resynced the feed, should be working properly just as before, with images. If not, please refresh your feed, and double check you are using the right URL: http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheDieline
Our RSS feed shows all content from the homepage of TheDieline.com, and just like on the website, you must click Read More to view the full article.
Kristian: Search feature has been moved back to the right :-)
No images in Google reader - image icon comes up as broken.
I deleted the feed, added it again and refreshed the reader but the images are still broken.
The post titles look horrible on my computer - very jaggy. I love that you took away the images of "other posts you might like" from the main page. It used to totally screw up the way this site would load for me! Yay!
I deleted and re-subscribed to the feed, but am still having image issues as well. Some are loading now, but most aren't. I'm using Google Reader.
Same RSS issue here, with Google Reader. No images. :(
Will you be addressing the "reply to" reader comments feature? Thanks in advance for looking into that for me.
