New Blog Design

I get bored with the old one
But that's not the only reason. Somehow the old one didn't look so well too. And the possibilities with Artiesteer is not so good as I thought to be. That's why I searched for an other cool theme for my Bloq here. Of course before I went to my work. Hehe
So I get this little theme here. I only changed the Banner. What should I do with an Banner with a clock in it?
But that's not the only thing. I put now an extra column for recent comments and RSS feeds. As you can see here:
I updated some links too. And put some new.
If you have any suggestions what I should do next or better please tell me. ^^
Pretty nice, some suggestions and thoughts:
1. I'm not really a fan of gradients, especially those that go with you as you scroll. But I guess that's a personal taste kind of thing.
2. "Have a nice day", either place it slightly higher, or add a 1-2 pixel border to the words, cause the background is too light for the last few words.
3. The font of your posts is too small. It needs to be made larger.
4. "Recent Comments" is gold. I'd also add "Recent posts", but with just pictures and "More" tag it might not be necessary (though I'd add at least 2 lines before the "more" tag). Also, add a widget for your own RSS Feed. Even if through Feed-burner. Some people don't know how to find RSS feeds on sites if these are not directly given.
Overall though it looks pretty good.
Congrats on the new design :) (we have a word for it in Hebrew that doesn't translate, it basically means, "Congrats on your new thing").
but it will look better if there is a background image~~
it looks pretty good, I been thinking of changing my site's look as well. I have had the same look for about a year.
Very nice design ^^ I love the banner especially. (I wish my blog looked as nice. I hate how narrow blogspot is ~_~)
I did notice an overlapping problem when reading individual posts though: http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/1958/grewm.jpg (Firefox 3.5.3 btw)
That new banner is amazing. I love it <3
Looks good! Every time I try to re-decorate my site, I wind up breaking something and have to head to the Wordpress support forums and ask for help so I can fix it. i haven't changed anything since April except for a few minor tweaks. Still needs some more work and I'm having weird spacing issues, but other than that, I think I'll leave it alone for now so I don't mess anything up hahah.
