First, let me say thanks for stopping by on a daily basis, your continued patronage of this website in the fight against climate fanaticism is always appreciated. I’m considering some changes to WUWT’s formatting in the upcoming months to help keep important stories online longer, but before I do that I need the readers to answer a question that I can’t answer myself by looking at visitor data.
The question is: how do you see this website in your browser?
There’s three possible ways; the gallery format and the linear format, or mobile. Depending on your screen resolution and browser window size, one of these three presentations is possible.
GALLERY VIEW:
(larger screens and full width browser windows)
LINEAR VIEW:
(smaller screens and smaller browser windows)
MOBILE VIEW:
(On phones)
Please tell me which view you normally see:
Your answer will help me make WUWT better.
Thanks, Anthony
I don’t mind either format. I typically use MS Edge, or safari on a tablet. HTML5 is the way of the future, and possibly even an App.
I most often read starting with a notification in email, and click through to read the rest if the lede is interesting. What I see next depends on whether I’m reading email on my phone or PC, and these days I probably read about 50% on phone and 50% of PC. The ballot didn’t let me vote for two!
I most often view and respond on my iPad using Safari
Gallery.
I have linear from Firefox and expand that to the full width of a 23″ monitor, then increase the font size because my eyesight is now so bad.
Please fon’t use gray fonts or other low contrast hings like white on blue background, no matter how pretty look.
Gallery in Firefox and most sincere Thanks for all you do
Galery please

For a long time, I was seeing linear view. Recently, without prodding, my screen has shifted over to gallery view. Same computer, same? OS, same screen — updated Firefox. I’m okay with either view,
Sorry for a double reply – the gallery/linear post was in reply to the site question. This time around, I want to second your request – gray text with light gray comments and captions is bad. Whatever you do, don’t go gray.
Gallery on Firefox. Thanks for keeping the site going
Gallery or mobile sir. Read your site multiple times daily
All three ways.
– Gallery with Firefox on my iMac.
– Linear with Firefox/Safari on my iPad.
– Mobile view with Firefox on my iPhone
I get one row of gallery then it goes linear, apparently to fit adverts down the right side.
Firefox browser on a laptop.
I get linear.
Mobile view on my iPad. I use an RSS reader (and I would recommend that strongly to other serious readers). Very simple and efficient.
I use Brave Browser running on Debian GNU/Linux at 1080p resolution.
The Gallery view is preferred. However, it’s surprising that WordPress doesn’t automatically adjust for the device.
And… since there have been a few articles on here lately regarding blockchain enabled websites… may I suggest trying out Steemit, if you are interested in moving to a new platform that includes blockchain technology. You may even be able to forgo ads entirely since blog posts can receive payments via crypto-coin.

Firefox in gallery that goes linear as I scroll on large screen or laptop… prefer to read when I have time and space
Thank you for keeping us informed, Mr. Watts. Google Chrome shows me a modified linear view.
Gallery, Firefox
I usually see linear and I prefer linear.
Great tactical wisdom from Stanford tennis coach Dick Gould, applies in many situations: “Never change a winning game, always change a losing game.”
Change is inevitable in the technologically evolving world of internet publishing. Here I would interpret Gould’s advice as meaning: “Never give up important functionality.” If there is something that helped to create your success, try to keep it available at least as an option.
Classic, simple, linear should always be an option, in my opinion.
Linear and am quite happy with that
Running Firefox and I use the gallery view.
I see gallery view.
I’m surprised you don’t have something like Google Analytics, it could tell you how your site was being viewed by screen size, as well as other useful stuff.
Google doesn’t do things honestly with this site.
That may be true when searching but I’d wager that Google Analytics, which is used to report on various aspects of site usage statistics, will just report on how your site is used, it isn’t part of the Google search mechanism/algorithms. Easy enough to put on your site, there are various plugins to add it to WordPress, it’ll give you facts on pages viewed, unique views, browsers used, geolocation of browsers etc. I think you’d find it useful and you wouldn’t need to have a poll like this to see how your site is used.
I see it in linear. By the way I despise websites set up for mobile viewing. Please don’t go there
