DISQUS

I personally love it and think that it looks like something you would do. I say keep it!!

I'm not sure... I like the header graphics (logo) and it has a "cleaner" look to it. But I'm not quite sure about the color scheme... I think the older version was easier on the eyes.

Having said that, I don't care all that much since the content is top notch and I most often read this through a "reader".

I already shared my opinion on previous post - I think it gives your site a lot cleaner and nicer look. Although I do agree I find it inconvinient not to see the meta data for post on index page. Seems like an easy fix of simply adding appropriate statements to index.php file and perhaps a css division definition :)

I think the new design looks great Jack.

It's clean and seems easy enough to get around. Of course when you change anything it takes some tinkering to get it exactly the way you want it. I changed my layout a few weeks ago, and I'm still tinkering too!

I'm a bit confused because it looks like the out-of-the-box version of the theme allows you to comment directly from the home page so I don't understand why your version doesn't allow it.

Personally I see it as an improvement on the old style but I'm surprised you didn't customise it a bit more.

Mike,

The logo is being worked on and I'm still tinkering - I might have waited on this post till all that was done but I got impatient. :)

I like it - but then again - i'm the kind of guy that is much more about content than I am about form.

Looks great, Jack! Content AND style. I like it.

I like the new look. However, I don't visit your
site because of the look. Your content is awesome.
That is the reason for my frequent visits.

Keep up the great work Jack!

I really like the new look! Except for one small thing - the words on top of Friday Traffic Report are not readable.

Awesome!! You can't please everyone Jack. Format, styling, and appearance are always strictly subjective. The look is clean and crisp. Functionally, you have covered all the bases in my opinion. Authority site? Don't sell your self short. You have done an excellent job and I have a gut instinct that FTR 2.0 will continue to excel in the future.
Keep up the good work!!!

I adore the new look Jack - clean, sleek, much easier on the eyes then the old design. Woo-hoo to Web 2 design elements!

If most people are coming through to your site to a permalink, then having comments where you have to click through isn't a major problem.

In some ways it feels like you are missing some white space.

It is certainly much more refined that my experimentations. I doubt whether I will ever be settled enough on page elements for a formal redesign.
