		<description>Hi Ryan,

Overall the look and feel is very good.
Two changes you REALLY should make:

1 - Get a background with borders for your main template.
The white on white look makes the eye wonder a bit.
For example of a simple background that pulls the content forward, see:
http://www.resperate.com/discover/what_is_resperate.aspx
(I made the background on that page myself)

2 - On the same note, you should have a different background color for your right column or at least a thin line between the main column and the right one.
Our eyes like content to be well defined with borders for easier reading.

		<description>Faye, Richard, Chad, Cheryl, Dave - Thanks for the feedback. It&#039;s greatly appreciated.

Pat - Glad you like the new theme. I&#039;ll take a look at fixing the Archive button. I didn&#039;t even know it was broken, so thanks for calling it to my attention.</description>

		<description>I like this new theme a lot.  The old one was too plain.  This one is just right, not too busy either.  I think the photo is fine.  I would expand your About page a little.  

FYI, your Archives page is not working.  I think you need to create a blank page with the title &quot;Archives&quot;.  Choose &quot;archives&quot; as the template for that page.  (I know this because I am using this theme for one of my blogs. :) )</description>

		<description>Hey Ryan:

Puh-leeze get yourself into that pink bunny suit and by all means make a short video of you hopping all around, wiggling your nose, and munching on a carrot or two ... That would be hilariously precious, and I would LOVE to post it on my funny videos site! :-)

That said, it&#039;s great - and valuable (to a point) - to get feedback about your site&#039;s overall look and feel, but at the end of the day, you&#039;re probably just splitting hairs (or pink hares? There&#039;s another pink bunny reference for ya!).

Who cares if you have a &quot;snazzy header&quot; or a &quot;Web 2.0 look&quot;?  At the end of the day, web users want information that&#039;s clearly presented and easy to digest visually (so it&#039;s easy to read).

In my opinion, you&#039;ve done that with your site!  I like it.  Leave it alone and get/stay focused again on the stuff that really matters:  Valuable content.

You&#039;ve got a good, clean-looking site.  So, focus on what matters:  Traffic - do you have a steady stream of visitors?  Is it increasing?  Are other sites linking your content?  Are you making money?

Ok?  So, hop along now, and when you get the chance, please make that funny pink bunny suit video!

		<description>Hi Ryan,

I&#039;m a creature of habit, and I was used to your old site. I liked the look and feel of it. This one (to me) is colder and more impersonal.  

On the other hand...I&#039;ve always enjoyed your content and that&#039;s why you&#039;re one of the few blogs that I&#039;m subscribed to.  As for the font, I don&#039;t have a problem reading it, so no vote there.

Oh - and I REALLY want to see you in the pink bunny suit before I vote on which photo to use...

Warmly,

Cheryl</description>
