Alex, I absolutely LOVE the new site, very clean, organized and jazzy.

And I am loving all your plug-in’s. They are building my whole site.

Keep up the great work!

New website – no new picture!

Great job on the redesign. I like how it still has roots in your old design (font faces, colors, etc.) but is modern and refreshing. Great job.

Also – the font changing buttons don’t work for me (Camino 1.1 Alpha on OS X)

Loving the new site – it looks a lot more modern but has a good simplistic air around it. I’m not a fan of your logo since the two blues and similar!

Are we going to get some ‘making of’ posts – I’m looking forward to hear how you did the front page with WP!

Looks good! A little wide for my taste (my browser is nearly the entire 1024 width of my laptop screen, and I’ve got a horizontal scroll bar).

I noticed that the link to your HTML resume template is busted. I’m sure you’ll be fixing lots of things like that over time.

I’m still collecting notes for my own future site redesign. There are a lot of things that I want to improve, I just have to figure out how I want to organize things.

I like it!

Have you thought about using a form field within a div to check for spam comments instead of the captcha method?

I think the adsense ads look out of place in the sidebar. Matching their background color to the sidebar would help.

If you want them to stand out, some kind of additional style (like a border) to make it clear that they were intended to be different would also work…

Clicking the comments on the frontpage load to the comments on your post about yourself.

Looks great. I really like the AJAX comments and of course your clean, minimal design!
