Great job! You and I have been spending our time on similar efforts lately. I just finished converting my entire site to a WordPress blog (instead of having a separate blog section). I figure about 1000 more hours and I'll have all the content converted over too! :) Eye candy John! Great job! You and I have been spending our time on similar efforts lately.

The only thing I find a bit irritating is the sharp yellow color of the Feedcounter (small thing though :) ). Also, I kinda miss the polarbear. I like the new design too.

I guess I got tired of how big and clunky it looked before, but I didn't want to lose readability. The size is still as big as most blogs. Seems like a bunch of people miss the polar bear. I liked it too, but went to a Brain Logo since it fits the domain name. I thought the bear could be confusing. Also, has anyone else noticed a significant color difference between Mac and PC. I designed it on a Mac and the color of the subscription box looks light blue. On a PC it looks lavender. I don't like it as much, but it could be worse. Yes, font size was something I considered.

Fonts were bigger and easier to read... I just like big fonts. (Ok ok... I know I can do ctrl+ to increase them). Also I think I will miss the polar bear =) But hey, the majority seems to be happy with the new design so forget my complaining. hehe! I don’t hate it, but I really prefered the other one.

Maybe I'll find a way to incorporate it somewhere. Haha, it got nixed, but you aren’t the first one to miss it. Maybe I’ll find a way to incorporate it somewhere.

Nice job. I like how clean your design is. And while I liked the polar bear, I definitely think changing to 'the brain' was a good move. I like this too, John. Nice job.

I'll probably move the GoogleReader and Bloglines chicklets some place else or remove them entirely. It's funny, the colors look a lot different on PC. I designed it entirely on a Mac so this the first I've seen it. The fonts are also a bit different too. Thanks everyone for the feedback. That’s a good point gdoc.

My only criticism would be the little box at the top-right, the lavender one for subscriptions. It also includes links to Google feeds, and bloglines. These are functionally different from the subscribe elemtn, and I would put them underneath (i.e. outside the subscribe box itself). Apart from that, looking good.
