New Design is Live!
Ok so I stayed up until 4am working on this, and then woke up this morning and was determined to work on it until it was finished. Now only 1 question remains: how did I do? Keep in mind there’s still a couple small kinks I have to work out. Let me know what you like and what you’d change, and we’ll get that all over with and get back to the affiliate marketing posts (I have a big one planned soon so stick tight). The poll worked decently the first time, so let’s have another go with it :

JUst when i was getting used to all the red lol…
Awww look. Blogs, they grow up so fast. It seems like only yesterday that there were 4 readers on your feed and Sup3rnova wasn’t associated with Facebook.
Looks much better and is much easier to read. Keep up the good work, I discoverd your blog from shoemoney and appreciate your efforts to help people make money thru affiliate advertising
To be honest, the right side bar is WAY to wide for us using laptops. That is taking advertising to a huge extreme and may persuade me to no longer visit. Ads should compliment the content, not overpower them.
Overall – a big improvement, especially the white background.
I do tend to agree with Jeremy (above) to some degree. See problogger.net for inspiration.
Also – text could be just a little bit larger and a little bit darker, and personally I prefer Arial.
Alright I’ve done a little switching and swaping with the ads, just put them along the side.
Next week I’ll work on making the sidebar as a whole less wide, as I do agree that the area with the posts is a little too narrow.
Looks much better. I would work on the color scheme.
I kind of like it. I’m really tempted to go black on white with my blog as well but it’s been white on black for so long that I feel it’s part of it’s personality…

Ok, another comment. What the heck is the software you’re using? I’ve NEVER seen a comment post so fast on a blog!!

Category headings seem a bit oversized, and I’m on a pretty high res so I dread to think how big they are on low res. Also, lots of white space – is this intentional? You could be wasting a bit of ‘prime’ space above the fold. It’s quite nice, but in general I think you could optimise the space a bit better.
still hard to read. Give a little more weight to the text or change the font.
It’s not bad, but I like the old one much more. I really love the old color scheme and this new one looks a little ‘bloated’ imo.
I’m spending my damn Sabbath day fixing this template for you guys…geezum.
Sidebar is now smaller and font switched to Arial.
The text in the right column gets cut off when viewing in IE6 at 1024 x 768. Otherwise it looks great! Keep up the good work.
…also just noticed the body text for all of your posts gets cut off as well in IE6 at 1024 x 768 (but it looks fine in Firefox).
yeah, I’m working on IE…I really hate it – everyone should convert to FireFox for SO many reasons.
seems to have grown on me.
I believe you did a marvellous job. The new design really kicks ass.
