Ever since I helped design the AAXI I’ve had blog envy. See, that website looked so much better than this one. I had been frustrated by the old template for some time anyway. I thought it was cluttered and hard to read, and there were design limitations with the template that irked me. Two column designs are less cluttered and easier to read. Though, truth be told I actually considered a new three column design because I still like the architectural look, and may give it a whirl again if this design doesn’t grow on me. As it stands now, I don’t know if everything is completely optimized. I think it all works in Firefox (which you really should be using) and I’ve verified that it looks alright on Safari (whether it all works is a different matter). The IE rendering is a little off, but I think that’s the fault of IE, not the fault of my coding. IE has issues.
Nice design! I really need to flip mine so that the sidebar is on the right where it belongs - that’s where most people rest their mouse/cursor and why most sites insist on putting sidebars on the left…

Thanks! On that left/right menu issue, here’s the link that convinced me the text should be on the left, the menu on the right:
