Current vs. New redesign (still working on it)... - Mark Krynsky

I prefer the lighter look which is readable. Open spaces are better. Also the RSS button is more professional. - Louis Gray

+1 for the one on the right! - Mona Nomura

Haha Louis re: RSS button. Yea I think I got the one I'm using now at pick a part. - Mark Krynsky

I'm using this theme http://www.askgraphics.com/freetem... but hacked it quite a bit. - Mark Krynsky

New design is so much better. - Pavel Senko

Another one for the right here. I love clean looks. - Amani

One major consideration is to go single column sidebar on the right. I'm really leaning towards doing that. - Mark Krynsky

The layout of the right hand is cleaner; I like that. But I like the stronger blues of the left hand side. - Andrew C (✓)

I'm torn between the cleaner white look and the blues on the left. Let's put this to a Twitter vote. Better yet, Use twtpoll. - J. D. Ebberly

I tried it with the stronger blues but I didn't like it as much and reverted back to the original blue the theme uses. Guess I'm just tired of the current look. - Mark Krynsky

Lighter version is a lot cleaner and simple. - Chris Frost

looks good - Cee Bee

I think the entire header looks greatly improved. The big logo looks nice. - Mitch

New layout light years better - Mo Kargas

Thanks for all the feedback guys. Glad most are liking the new design. I'm also going to add some other goodies too on the site that I use to monitor Lifestreaming news. - Mark Krynsky

The new design is much nicer, more calming to the eye. I don't mind the right 2 panels having a background colour but it should perhaps only be a shade or 2 darker than the header. - Kol Tregaskes

The new one is a nice improvement. Like bigger headlines and smaller rss icon. Nice that the menu is a bit more far away from content, good positioning. - Jesper Lind

very nice redesign, but... could use another color palette ? .. a lot of sites are using a blue palette ... is getting boring ... but very nice work indeed - Nelson Fernandez

The lighter one is ten times better. I'd look into the color of the logo though. Maybe a darker tint of the same hue (or slightly different) as the blue-ish background would look better. Or a wholly different color. - Meryn Stol

I like it, it's lighter, cleaner and less distracting - Nestor

Minimalism, ftw. :) - Derrick

nice & clean - andy brudtkuhl

Very clean. I would make just one change: remove the Search Box + "GO" button combo in the header and replace with the RSS subscriber count. There is no need to have 2 search boxes on the same page. - vijay

Refreshing and light. Maybe darker text? Maybe some stronger division lines to set off the header and sidebars? - Austin King

I like the darker one, color-wise, but the lighter one looks less cluttered. - Anika

like - Shevonne

Thanks so much for all the feedback everyone. You guys rock. I'm considering all comments and suggestions for the next round of changes. - Mark Krynsky

yeah, I like the light one better. Less oppressive and I would actually read through that site. - Chieze Okoye

I like the lighter look. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

the redesign is looking good Mark - Shey

I like the new one a lot. Not sure about the green border on the logo, though - maybe pick up the darker blue from the old header for that? Unless you want the green to equate with "life." - Jandy

If green, then at least a brighter green. This type of green is kind of depressing. Maybe green text with white or dark border to contrast. - Meryn Stol

I don't like the logo... - Alex Sauceda

I like the new look, it looks more clean. - Flavio

Hi Mark! I like the clean white one... and definitely go for the one column on the right! Follow your instincts. - Trish Haley
