There are things that could be made better (header could have some kind of light background color or some another visual clue so elements of it would stay together in better way), but this is still quite refreshing compared to many other visually overloaded blogs.

Hence the magnitude of negative comments, maybe :) I personally love graphically richer website designs, but that's me. This, however, is your website and I think it represents who you are and more importantly, what you do. I do miss the beautiful photos in the header :) Well... it certainly came as a surprise and quite a change from the previous design.

I hate to say it but I'm not a fan.Bandwidth rates are increasing around the world, so page load times are becoming less relevant (especially if you're using plugins for mobile visitor experience). These minimalist design websites tend to appeal to coders because they're clever / clean / quick to load from a code perspective, but to everyone else.. they're just visually boring.Whilst I can personally vouch for your content's ability to captivate, consider that in advertising they say you have seconds to grab someone's attention before they move on. Finally, remember the old saying... "a picture is worth a thousand words".kr,Dave Vlad, I'm an avid reader of yours on email, so rarely visit the site, but i clicked through to check out the new design.

It's just that I like colors, buttons and pictures. But I appreciate your work and your articles. Hopefully I discovered it before you changed the design :) Anyway, continue the good work !

The new design is also much lighter then the previous one (home page of only 21K compared to 250K of the old design). Which means its faster to load and browse.I feel the navigation is not perfect yet so any suggestions in that direction are welcome.How do you like the 'Recommend this post' feature?Is the footer clear enough - can you find the old stuff?Does sidebar need any more information? Hi all!

I felt like I needed the change. The new design is also much lighter then the previous one (home page of only 21K compared to 250K of the old design). Which means its faster to load and browse.

I feel the navigation is not perfect yet so any suggestions in that direction are welcome.

How do you like the 'Recommend this post' feature?

Is the footer clear enough - can you find the old stuff?

Does sidebar need any more information?

It's also nice to see your video comments on the site now.

It looks like you're sitting on a throne in the video.
