Site looks very slick now. Could probably do with some minor under the hood tweaking as I see this page has a h2 and no h1... nothing major, but always good to have everything ship-shape. regards Niall Very tasty theme Malcolm.

Designed by some dude in Bali if memory serves. I thought about using it, but decided the level of support wasn't good enough and my tech knowledge was too basic. I like this one.

I'm a bit fan of coloured sections for usability.The new Everest.co.uk site has a similar use of sectional colour themes. You make me feel guilty about not working on my personal site for a long time. Looks great on a windows 7 phone.:D Very clean feel to it.

Then I though sod it let's go magaziney/newspapery. I plan to get rid of some of the clutter. And am currently mulling over changing links from underlined black to the more common blue. and about a million other minor tweaks. The biggest problem I've had is that the content area is 60 pixels wider than the old one, so all the pics end up with text running down the side of them. I've bodged the CSS to fix this. Now I need to work out how clear works in CSS ... Anyway, thanks for the comments! Joanna / Adam - I spent month searching for a very clean, cut down design.

I agree with Joanna, the less blog-like format especially on the home page is a good approach. Looks good Malcolm.

I like the 'newspaper' style with enticing snippets everywhere. Reminded me I need to start thinking about a revamp for mine - might refresh the blogging brain cells at the same time! PS. Still laughing at Dave's comment! Very nice new design! I like the 'newspaper' style with enticing snippets everywhere.

I'm finding that annoying myself. Good to have confirmation! Think I may replace it with a static "what this blog is" explanation ... Thanks for the feedback. I'm finding that annoying myself.

The only thing I'm not so sure about is the way the right hand scrolling goes up and down automatically on the home page. Maybe leave it static with option for user to scroll it down.

However, luckily, I want to change from using two images to get the rollover effect (as now) to just using one so I'll fix it then. I'm going to bed now though!
