It was jarring to me at first, pushing the comments off the left edge might help. Needs more whitespace on the left side.

I've done little bits of tweak here and there. I'd like it to not be limited to 960 pixels wide, for example but when I removed those the whole thing went crazy. So, I can try but I'll be very ginger about it. Aron, glad you like it. One thing I like is that it puts important things up top. Putting some of the stuff from the sidebar into a nav bar at the very top declutters some. In this day and age of Wordpress, I'm always surprised at the people who are still on Radio.

Your old narrow sidebar was a bit much for my failing old eyes to scan. I find that clean and feature filled don't have to be opposed. Color choices are good and I give it a thumbs up. I'll have to get a list of your plug ins from you !!! It must be spring house cleaning time... I finally have made the break from my old Userland software to Wordpress at Bitterman and though certain elements of navigation are still not there, it's a big leap forward. I'm learning more about php than I ever wanted to... I like the new look and the 3 column format; with all the info you have on the page it makes it easier for me to read.

I've recently changed mine too. Being stuck on wordpress.com seriously limits what you can do but I'm not up to running my own server at the moment. I would say that the columns are a bit narrow. Is there any way to move them apart a bit? Nice theme. I’ve recently changed mine too.

A few pixels or a whole lot? If you could take a screenshot and send it to my gmail account (same one from the email me link up top) I'd appreciate it. I'm thinking about making the text in the sidebars smaller and shrinking them but leaving it the same size on the main column. Mat, how far is it dangling over? A few pixels or a whole lot?

One thing about reading blogs via Atom, or RSS (if you must), is that there's no idea about what the site looks like. Unless comments are to be rendered or there's a hint of new pictures.

The only bad thing is the 3 columns creates a horizontal scroll bar unless I use a big wide-ass browser size, which I'm not fond of. The general look and fonts are nice, easy to read.

Why did no one find it too small until today? I think the ratio of text to logo is also the same, it's just moved over closer to it. Curious...

The word "chronicles" is hard to see and the url is illegible. It’s an interesting look but I think the logo is a bit too small in the header.
