The previous version, aka DooDooBrown, was just horrendous to look at both aesthetically and from a structural standpoint. It was setup as a basic two-column blog, but the site has outgrown that structure so a change was needed.

I rejoice in anything that makes content king and functions in a way that is easy to use. Lack of gradients and drop shadows is a big tick. I like it but then I am a simple girlie at heart ;) Personally thank any gods that it’s not web 2.0 unicorn droppings.

It's very simpl(e)y done of you, which over the years I've come to associate with your signature style. A couple of things though, The longer post titles are borking your "previous" and "next" navigation down here by the submit box, and having the logo floated left borks some of the ads with longer text, by forcing a line break. Anyway, looking much better overall. Hey dude,

Everything serves a purpose — that is design.

What clicking are you talking about? BTW, I love how the "reader hostile attitude" phrase is coming from a hostile, anonymous poster. Come on, be a man, leave a name or something.
