And, I want to thank you for the feedback.  I do realize that the colors are a bit sucky, but I changed them quickly with the little “customizer” (options) up top, as any site viewer can.  The only difference is that I used it to save as the default (have you seen the orange white and robins egg one that its based off?).  I think that I may incorporate some of the design idea with the Hemmingway theme’s ideas.  I like the AJAX “drawer” effect for the menu.  But, like you, I’m not too sure about the left/right chronology either.  And, I like the recent comments up top too, as I’m also lazy.

Overall, I like the set up better than the last one. It’s got more of a personalized feel, and less of a sterile one, if you know what I mean…lol.

I like how the most recent post goes all the way across the page to make it stand out, and how the older posts are in columns and are shortened. Though, it was hard to follow which one came before the other right off the bat.

I like the footer, but wish there was a place up higher on the page to put the recent comments. I’ve come to depend on them and really hate scrolling. They encourage me to go look at the comments for older posts that I probably wouldn’t have glanced at otherwise.

I like how each comment has a different color background to make them stand out.

I know you said not to mention the colors, but they aren’t doing anything for me. The combinations suck BIG TIME…lol. So, consult your gay interior designer friend
I checked out the site that Devin mentioned, but that reminded me too much of your typical forum. I vote NO on it.

ummmmmmm…I think that’s enough for now You’re gonna wish you never asked for comments…lol.
