Which design do you find to be most aesthetically pleasing (and optimal): left sidebar, right sidebar, one left and one right, or two right? Trying to decide for my blog redesign.

Right sidebar. Because English speaking folks read from left to right, your eye gets to the main content more quickly, while still having access to auxiliary info as needed. Also makes for a more mobile friendly website if you haven't taken specific actions to make it mobile friendly.

It's a tie between two right sidebars or one left and right.

I prefer the right sidebar for the same reason as Gregory. English speakers read from left to right. Now, if it's a site in Hebrew....

For some reason I don't like a left sidebar. I tried 2 rights, but it's hard to pull off. I think the number of stuff you want to have in your sidebars warrants having both a really well-optimized header and a 3 column layout.

I've been using the right side.

Either one or two sidebars, but mostly both on right.
- Alex Cristache
right side, good font, simple layout :)
- Stagekid
I like all sidebars on the right, but prefer just one slightly wider sidebar.
