You may or may not have noticed a new design here. It's a "live" redesign, which is to say that I've had it in the works for a while and putting it live with a few bugs will motivate me to get it finished properly a bit quicker! I know the comment posting form is a little funky looking, and IE has a problem with the rounded corners, but if you spot anything else wrong, please let me know.
A proper write-up of the redesign is on the way, but wanted to let you know of a small new feature added in this redesign - the favatars. Have a look at a comments section, and you will see them next to each post. Once the live comment preview is added, there will be live favatar previewing as well.

Nice design, I'm liking it.
Flows nicely and is much smoother than the old.
Well done, keep up the good work!

I like the new look! It looks great in firefox, but safari doesn't seem to stretch your inner content div to the full width of the reddish/black box. It only seems to want the div to be 605px or so. Let me know if you want a screenshot or anything.

I usually don't like liquid layouts, but your mixed is great!

Nice idea with the favicons, but isn't this what the whole point of Gravatars are for?

Sam: True, it is. However, Gravatars rely on people signing up to their service, and I think that Favatars will ensure more people have a distinctive icon next to their name.

favatars is smarter for websites.
for non-site-owners, gravatars (email based) are smarter.
