Congrats on the flawless transition if nothing else, I know some that wouldn’t get that part right. The ads are part of the internet and don’t bother me at all, I say earn thats compensation for the time you put in.

My opinion is that it looks much more “professional” than the old face. I’m especially happy that those goofy double-underline ad links or whatever they are are gone. Please don’t add them back. Sure, income from advertising might be nice to help keep you afloat, but those are so damned annoying.

there have been some changes – the add column doesn’t fall over the main text column anymore now. Thanks! I can now again enjoy the full content of TAB without further worries. Great!

The ads are a lot less intrusive with the new design, I like that. :) The only one that really bothers me now is the header (it's just so BIG), but I can live with it.

@Josh: My screen resolution is the one you are using. But my Safari window is not maximized over the whole of my iBook screen. Normally, in such cases there’s either a lower scrollbar that allows me to focus on the frames I want to see (and I never want to see adds), or the text columns adapt to the window size of Safari.

In this case, there is a lower scroll bar, but it applies to the whole page (and therefore doesn’t really fix my problem). It seems to me that the text column does not automatically adapt to the window size of the browser, and that the add column seems fixed, and thus hovers over the text column if the window size is not maximized.

Overall, I like it. Much cleaner, while also maintaining a modern look. Loads quicker, too. I would look into repositioning that top ad under the header, though, as that looks a bit odd…

I don’t like to do it but I’ve disabled ads on this site. But it looks much better now.

I’m not crazy about the coloured title bars on the side bar though.

I have to agree with Jim, I’d much rather see categories (& tags) in the sidebar rather than top commenters.

Meh, it’s nothing to write home about, but I usually read the RSS feed anyway so I’ll stick around :P

Oh, and now that I scroll down, bump up the line-height of the categories/about sections. $readability++;

Like the new design… and… I would recommend reducing the number of posts on the landing page, or abbreviate them in some way. Otherwise I have to scroll for what seems to be an eternity to get to the categories and tags.

Your newly redesigned site looks great in hot pink … you forgot to set the background color attribute. Read some recent Zeldman for more sites doing this. Other than that, Looking good. TAB rocks as usual.

I like the new design. Very clean.

And we all need to remember that ad’s pay to keep the site up and running. I’d rather have them and have TAB than not have them and see TAB go away.

So I don’t mind that they are a bit imposing.
