UPDATE 1200 GMT: We are still in the process of building pages on the new site.
We apologize to readers about the font and color of text at the moment. We realize that this is not optimal for reading, especially for those with poor eyesight, and have this at the top of our priority list.
We also apologize that posts outside the five latest in each category are not accessible via the homepage. We hope also to fix this soon.

We are updating the EA website — to improve access for our existing readers and to bring in a new audience.
EA will now stand for “Engagement. Analysis” as we offer a window on the world, from Syria to Iran to Europe to the US. Building on our foundation of engaging from the ground up with contributors and local groups, we will be expanding our news and analysis of these areas and looking to move into others.
There will also be a ground-breaking partnership with the University of Birmingham, linking the latest academic research to insight on current events, as well as our current link with the Clinton Institute of University College Dublin.
And, yes, there will be a new logo to reflect all of this.
Onward and upwards. Thanks to all of you.
Hi Scott,
On the EA site now. Much, Much easier to read – black on grey. Fantastic !!!
On Chrome, no adjustments – 100%. Very easy to read.
Great work and many, many thanks.
Ciao, David
David,
Thanks for your patience with us!

Hello Scott,
Enjoy your work tremendously by the way.
I reading EA mainly on my desktop – two screens. Also on my laptop from time to time.
Just checked my iPhone and it is the same.
Black font on the grey background would be very readable.
Best reards,
David
PS: Also a a very dark grey to give more of a contrast.
David,
Many thanks. We’re back on the upgrade tomorrow — lots to do — so this will be on the agenda.

I’m for change, but EA0s new format is very difficult to follow and read.
1. The size of the font is way to small. It must be enlarged to 150% at least for easy reading.
2. It would be good to have some sort of index at the top of the page for easy access under each category.
3. The grey text on a grey background also makes difficult reading.
I didn’t actually find a suggestion or contact link to post this comment. It would be easier to have more information on an EA page.
Best regards,
David
David,
Thanks so much. We will take these into account. Are you reading on laptop, tablet, or mobile?
We are also updating the Comment and Contact links so you will be able to give feedback there in future.

Scott: WTH is this? “EA will now stand for “Engagement. Analysis”
I’ve been here since 2010 and really enjoyed your blog back when EA meant enduring America.
Your screw-ups in my view are removing Enduring America and the original logo from this site and the daily “negative” coverage of Trump.
I saw you on CNN recently and noticed your ability to speak “southern” was fading. You need to return immediately to Gods country (Alabama).
Bill,
Don’t worry. We’ll still be covering America each day but we also want to highlight that we also engage with those in other parts of the world to analyze the issues that are of concern to them — a “window on the world”.
We’ll be posting a mission statement in the next few days and setting out the next phase of EA’s development.
Thanks to all readers who have made this possible.
