new design not so good on the netbook that i frequently use. before i could see all the content, and never really needed to scroll horizontally but now when the page first loads i only get about two thirds of what i am actually trying to read.

It’s great to see so many comments on a post. I’m a fan of having the sidebar on the right. It gets the reader to the content a bit faster. On the other hand, maybe it’s good to have them see the ads first.

What you don’t seem to notice, Bobby, is that in two years we’ll be laughing of this layout. The grid background; the bitmap picture; the grey-yellow branding; it’s all trendy right now. Not to say I don’t like it, though. And I think the new arrangement really lightens up the user interaction; as you well know we read left-right however awesome Gestalt kinda filters all those adds. You know you’re design 101.
On a side note, the yellow dot has an extra space besides your name, although maybe it’s intentional.

This blog has so much heart. Thank you for your time Bobby, really.

Could I be really annoying and ask for an button to flip the page to how we like it? ;)

I think the navigation on the right is more user friendly, but I like how the content is now centered on the screen. Why wasn’t the old layout centered? I also feel the content column could be wider.

The whole two column blog format that everyone uses is really stale, so I like the fact that you’re changing it up with the navigation on the left.

Well I agree with the naysayers. Not looking to harsh your mellow but this layout really doesn’t feel reader-friendly to me. I’d even say it doesn’t feel advertiser friendly. I always took a sec to peek at the banners since they’re usually more interesting than most. Just look at this page, the daily sites links really distract you from the body copy.

Maybe it would be better if the the content column was wider and had bigger margins.
Hope that helps.

Jason and G are talking about your name not being lined up with the rest of the text in the circle. It is not a browser problem.

Commenting out the whitespace out in the html between the div tag and the bottom yellow circle img tag might fix the gap problem in IE. Stupid shit like seems to work on mysterious gap problems.
