It's aright...I actually like your current template better because of the wider text area.
Maybe I would like the other with wider columns and content.
But whatever..it's your blog.

 

I agree, the wider text area is much better. Also, having two pictures of yourself so close to each other is weird.

 

Hey bud,
I agree with the fellow up above. I like the current one way better. The new one reminds me of some cheesy, IFB discussion board template. Sorry about that. I know you probably put a lot of work into it. But hey, you have to have honesty with your friends...

I also prefer the larger text area, and the one pictures proportions are off. Other than that, it looks pretty good.

 

I was going to mention that the right column had a bunch of junk in it still that I wasn't going to keep there.

I like the wider text area myself. I am looking at changing the look and feel a bit - the one thing I don't want to loose is the width for the text area. I am still fiddling and probably will for a month or so more. I just thought I would troll from some feed back before I put any real effort into it.

Also I was playing with the idea of having the "main" text area a place where I can swap content out - but I don't want to have it bound in a dimensional box as it were, just swapping inside the existing layout. It will take some work.

What about the colors and what not?

 

oh - and the two pictures thing - that was just my laziness. The expectation is to put meaningful content up.

 

I don't know, man. Those posts are pretty lame.

I like the layout, But I agree that the main column should be wider. The far-right column has no background or border. That's a mistake, right?

 

Yeah the background washout in the third column is unintentional. It is supposed to be like main column, but I changed something and "poof!" it was gone.

One thing I really wanted was to put a variable font thing-a-ma-jig for those who don't like the default font size (see the left most tabs on the tab menu under the blog title).

I like the white background in the text area since the contrast of a dark font on a white background makes for easier reading - it also makes images look like they are more a part of the context when you wash out the background of a photo in white and place it in the post without a border. But that is just my preference for style.

I will take another swing at the template as I fiddle in preparation for a possible switch to the new (formerly beta) blogger.

 

I like the way it looks, though I'm with everyone else concerning a wider main area. Fix that border on the right side and I'd say it is fabulous.
