Definitely a more sophisticated look, but maybe evokes a little ennui. I’m probably a bit biased though, I find the current layout kind of charming.

I think it sort of looks like The Onion without ads.

Minimal. Chic. I like it.

Looks good. There’s something slightly funky going on with the HTML WordPress is generating, though. A lot of the line breaks are created using
tags rather than

tags. Aside from enraging HTML geeks, this is affecting some of the spacing around blockquotes and paragraphs. Not a huge deal, but perhaps fairly easy to fix.

Good job. It’s just a little too plain, maybe. It’d be just right, I think, if you chose a subtle color scheme for your banner text and your hyperlinks.

Also, I agree with Other Ezra about the blockquotes: no italics, please.

I advise against italicizing your block quotes. Slightly smaller font and shorter line height should set them off enough–along with the line.

Dude, how do you get the cool little facebook banner thingy on your about page??? (I also can’t figure out how people get their del.ic.ious & flickr feeds on their sidebars. Perhaps I am beyond help).

The quick links on the right hand side are hard to read.

A nice, clean look — I’m glad you’re losing the dotted line motif. But you need some color, my friend, color!
