Kiltak: I had attempted to link to the page where my earlier comment on the layout could be found, back when the layout made a brief appearance. That’s all. Thanks for the link explanation. I haven’t bothered with any kind of HTML since 1998; perhaps it will all come rushing back to mind if I ever need to write a web page again. Sort of hoping I don’t need to…

I totally agree with krillz. Great idea to tighten up the header and footer. Puts more in the readers’ first view.

Just found your blog and unfortunately i don’t know what the previous theme looked like. However, I can say I do really like this theme. It’s geeky clean, professional, and that girl is sure a cutie!

Not bad.. I’m not sure if the use of all that above-the-fold space is justified! As someone else said, the dark gray is kind of making things a little subdued unless that is the effect you were going for.

Love the fast loading time though.

Uh?

Why are you linking one of our own post? the reason why your 1st comment wasn’t working is because you dind’t put any text between your A /A tags

As I said , I think it’s great! I could add that a post preview button would be fab, since I have no idea if I’ve done the link correctly. Anyway, good work fellow geeks!

nice, I like the new look ;D
Did you modify your filters or something, before the new look I was like 10x slower loading the page!

It looks like your old one with some customization, like a upgrade of your old one, so not too much different.

Except from some issues I don’t kind of like.

The cold shades of grey, Kind of darkens the layout, maybe some warmer colors would be better. Mix in some warm grey shades with cold ones.

I’m not a big fan of huge headers and footers.
The footers can be big as long as you have stuff to put there, relief the sidebars, right now they are empty, seems like a lot of space killer.

Also the header takes focus off, the menu, might have been better putting it under the header?
