If the design goes well, I'll start posting more articles pretty soon :) - Yuvi

Oh, and should I put Disqus on it? Does the slow load time compensate for the features you get? - Yuvi

This is a great theme, super clean and nice, one of the wordpress.com built-ins or a variation correct? I used this for a while on a different blog and I really liked it. - Phil Glockner

1. Design is great. 2. Content is more important. 3. Disqus is mandatory. - Louis Gray

The only thing I'd suggest would be, if you could, move the content to the far left. And yes, Disqus. - Mark Trapp

I changed the Theme 'coz the old one wasn't something I liked too much, and more importantly perhaps, messed with the Disqus plugin. - Yuvi

@Phil - yep, this theme is pretty popular, but I figured that a custom header design (by me! yay!) will make it not-one-of-the-masses. - Yuvi

hah disqus is mandatory - Allen Stern

You people don't find disqus slow? Atleast it's slow on my 256kbps connection - but I'll enable it anyway (most of my readers sure aren't on 256kbps connections:)) - Yuvi

Allen, it isn't mandatory for everyone. It's not mandatory for Arrington, or Huffington, or Perez Hilton. But for you, me and the rest of us, it's probably cutting off your nose to spite your face not to use it. But some people love to cut off their noses to spite their faces. : ) - Robert Seidman

Yuvi, you can mess with the Disqus API if you don't want to load the Disqus javascript. You will need to have some extended server rights .. but being hosted locally means you can cache it better than the JS - Phil Glockner

@Phil - I would, if I knew PHP, JS (which I don't, yet). Besides, their server side WP plugin should be made workable sooner - for SEO stuff & faster loading speeds. - Yuvi

Great new site design, hoping for more stats soon. - Gavin

I think one of my problems with low content output is that I was expecting myself to produce a 2500 word article with 25 charts every single time. I must teach myself to break it up a bit more - Yuvi

Yuvi - Sorry, that's what I meant, their API-based wordpress plugin, versus the Javascript-based one. Not writing your own client, no no. - Phil Glockner

@Phil - yep, but they "actively" discourage the use of the API based one :( Oh well, I guess I gotta wait - till then, JS it is :) - Yuvi

They discourage it because they don't want to support it, I'm guessing. I'm seriously thinking about using it myself, just to see how different it feels. - Phil Glockner

I wonder why Daniel Ha isn't popping up here to comment? - Yuvi

robert - i dont cut off nose to spite face, i don't believe its a product im interested in using. its moved the discussion about comments forward which is great - Allen Stern

Sorta generic theme but I like the header. I would probably install Disqus. It is a little bit slow but the features make up for it. You should also integrate the RSSmeme API with it to show how popular your posts are on Google Reader. Check out one use: http://bit.ly/rssmemeSharedSto... - Brandon Titus

@Brandon - good call 'bout the RSSMeme api. Will integrate with it too. This is an "extremely" generic theme - I can't afford a specifically designed theme (yet). So I did all I could - design a custom Header :) - Yuvi

Agreed with Brandon.. I have one 'o those too, and it survived the last sidebar edit I did yesterday. - Phil Glockner

This thread is motivating - It's 2:30 AM here, and I'm not sleeping without posting atleast a single post :D Loving it! - Yuvi

Well, it looks interesting! - l0ckergn0me

Nice and clean ... Easy to read. The way it should be. - Charlie Anzman

Ah, I love the Cutline theme. - James Mowery via twhirl

No don't go live in a cave...your design rocks! I like! - Susan Beebe

THE is too faded perhaps a nice transitioning by letter ... - viki saigal

ahh! minimalistic.. nice. but clicking on the logo does not take me to the home page.. im used to doing that on most websites.. - Azeem
