@Chuck: Thanks for your feedback. Which sidebar on the front page? The one on the far right or the one in the middle? I'd love to hear some more from you since you are an IT guy.

I'm actually on the fence. I happened to like the old design. This one is clean though and easy enough to navigate. The sidebar on the homepage feels a bit broken to me. Like it doesn't quite flow. I'm not sure what it is.

All in all I've got no real problems with it. Good luck with making it your own!

Thank you all for your comments! It means a lot to me that you took the time to let me know what you think.

@BusyDad: I agree...but I don't know what I want to do up there. I'd love to be able to create a logo of some sort. In the meantime I'll play around with different fonts and see how they look.

@Dette: I'm going at this all alone...well, I do consult the forums quite a bit to see what others have done. I also use the FireBug extension in Firefox to help with a lot of the CSS.

Tyler, I think the new design looks great. Typically I am not a big fan of the magazine style themes but they seem to be gaining in popularity.

As others have mentioned, it is nice, clean and crisp. Good work on the redesign.

Wow - nice job!! It looks great - and to tell you the truth - I loved the old design as well. :)

I have to ask - are you working with a designer or are you behind all of this?

I especially love your layout!

Looking good, Tyler! I like the layout and it's easy on the eye. Good move with getting rid of adsense. The cheapening effect is so not worth the $.21 you earn. That's why I don't have advertising on my site. I have nothing against it. I just would rather it make money first, you know? Only thing I would suggest is beefing up "Building Camelot" and tagline. It looks a bit frail/plain to be sitting at the top of this page. Maybe play around with fuller fonts? Other than that, awesome.

I like the sidebar the most...and the RSS button, and the Twitter bird, and the new header...shucks, it is all really cool. Good job man!
