(link to it in the footer). Kristarella, Thanks for the comments on the new design. And yes, I have been meaning to change the favicon for ages now! Finally did it after your comment pushed me!! Thanks David, Jacob, LaurenMarie, Mali,

Thanks

Andrew,

The “Today, I’m reading” is text I just placed in my sidebar, but the RSS feed widget is from within the WP Theme I am using, called “Options”. (link to it in the footer).

Kristarella,

Thanks for the comments on the new design. And yes, I have been meaning to change the favicon for ages now! Finally did it after your comment pushed me!! Thanks

Great stuff. I like how you incorporate the paper clip idea in to post images too (in posts after this one!). The underlining on the nav menu is very cool too. Might be time for a new favicon? <em>kristarella's last blog post..<a href='http://www.kristarella.com/2008/09/life-through-my-phone/' rel="nofollow">Life through my phone</a></em> I really like your new design.

I was wondering about your "Today, I am reading" section—is that custom code or a Wordpress Plugin? Whichever way, it's an interesting touch. I've seen bloggers' "Books I'm reading" before (complete with Amazon affiliate links, lol on mant sites), but never this...impressive ;) <em>Andrew Kelsall's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AndrewKelsall/~3/362222191/' rel="nofollow">Free Vector RSS Feed Cube Icons</a></em> Hi Brian, I’m liking the new design beta concept.

Maybe somehow you can give the background image for the excerpts a lighter visual weight. Perhaps this comes from making the paper lighter in value or less wrinkled. I see you are matching it to the navigation paper, though. Hmm... have to ponder that a bit! I'm tellin' ya, those details!! Remember to consider how you're using the elements and principles of design! :D I always go back to those when I get stuck. Oh! You know, I didn't even try to click what I thought were categories in the upper right corner, I just assumed they were clickable! You say you want that to help people know what your site is about, a tagline of sorts? Maybe it can be reworded to be a phrase instead of just single word concepts.

Kinda works on two levels, the BR and BY! Looking forward to your new redesign. And thanks for mentioning JCD. I also noticed the number of comments people have posted are next to the comments like JCD, I think it is great as people get to see how often people are at the website. <em>Jacob Cass's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/JustCreativeDesignBlog/~3/356916042/' rel="nofollow">JCD Gets A Slight Makeover + Gets Google Subpages</a></em> Nice new logo Brian, just noticed it.

That's one reason why I contemplated some text at the right of my header image, but I do like the space. I tried my dark footer image for the header, as a few commenters thought it would be an improvement, but it's just too heavy for my liking. I'll be interested to see how your template finishes up!

I haven't even started on the comments form, and single page displays. Yeah, if I keep those "categories" at the top right they will be clickable...I'm just not sure if I like them there. I want new visitors to know what I blog about the second they land on the site...so something to that effect is needed. The "Today, I'm reading" section is pretty cool. Just a way to further keep everyone networked together and give any new readers I may have that you don't yet (fat chance!! lol) more reading and learning material... That's odd about your header not changing...my first impression was that it was moved up and gave more room to the content. Maybe it is the white space that just gives a more light feeling, which is good. Hi David,
