Blog Style Feedback

I've been working on the design for this blog for the last couple of weeks now. I have gotten the elements and such hammered out, but I'm not a designer so I'm sure there's room for improvement. If the 4+ people who read this blog wanna give me feedback, I'd appreciate it.

As always, thanks for reading

I think the design and look is good, but I’d pick something less “flowery” personally.

I’m not much of a design person, so I can’t help you much there. However, this is one complaint I’ve always had with blogs: I want to see the new comments. If someone makes a comment on a posting that was made a week ago, I’m never going to see it. It’d be nice to sort by recent comments. It’d be extra nice if the RSS or Atom feeds incorporated that somehow as well. This is a general comment, not singling out yours in particular.

Richard: Hmm, I was trying to go a little less “Web 2.0” with the old-school floral pattern.

Willie: does http://tadthorley.com/feed/comments.xml tickle your fancy? I should probably link that. I haven’t gotten comments before, so I hadn’t really thought about it.

It’s a bit flowery and red for my tastes. I’m a fan of dark rather than bright themes, but that’s just me.

Also, you should check out getting your blog on the Utah Open Source Planet (http://openclue.org). You’ll have more that 4 readers… :)

I’ll give that feed a try and see how it works.
