UPDATE: Switched back to fixed-width template. It’s just more me.
ORIGINAL POST: I’ve been playing around with a fluid template design that gives much more space to content, but so far, the reviews have been overwhelmingly negative. It’s a bit minimalist, I know. Anyway, I was wondering if readers hated it as well before I switched back to my old design.

I like it… It’s a lot less cramped.
If the yin-yang was supposed to be symbolic of Korea, the blue half should be on the bottom and the red on top. This way, it more closely resembles a generic symbol of daoism or Confucianism, rather than a more specific representation of the central symbol of the Korean flag.
I prefer the old layout; the narrower central content column makes reading much easier.
not much different as far as I can tell….whatever floats your boat marmot…I’m good with it.:)
It’s more viewer-friendly, because the background is less distracting. The pictures are also bigger! For viewers with smaller screens and resolution, one can expand or contract the size on one’s own monitor. For the owner, it comes down to how to optimize a choice between providing a flashy appearance or maximizing the impact of the written word.
I like how it is currently however Spewer does have a potential point. Due to the smaller font size, the line length should not be too small. The formula most typographers use is like this: “point size” X 2 = the total number of words per line, thus 10 point type X 2 = 20 words per line (and no more!)
Darn, I meant “Due to the smaller font size, the line length should not be too long” Having a line that is too long on a page makes for more difficulty in reading.
RSS feed looks the same…
Good enough for me.
Font enlarged (actually, just changed to Verdana). Looks a little easier to read now.
I like this more than the last one.
Well if the ?? version of your name is any indication this new blog design has informed me that I have been mispronouncing your last name incorrectly in my head for the past year. Sorry.
