It’s not even the beginning of a new year and it seems everyone is getting their blog redesigned.  So I, not being one to let others do awesome things without chasing right after them, have decided to fall in line with everyone else, and redesign my blog.

You may have noticed a few minor changes to my theme when you got here.  For instance… EVERYTHING!

My old design was (I’ll not lie) inspired by the John Chow’s blog, but it seemed really cluttered together and almost too much to swallow for new or seasoned visitors alike.  This new design feels much more airy, and I feel like someone can really read my content without being overwhelmed with ads, or other garbage above the fold.

My ebook isn’t quite as prominent as before, but I still think it stands out rather well, and I’ve moved the Top Commentators to the sidebar, both of which has resulted in the contents of my posts to move a significant deal up on the page.  Which means you can read even more content without having to scroll as much.

Here a screenshot of the “old version”. Please let me know what you think.
