   Well you know me!!! I’m always for a good change of scenery. I like the “fast load” and light feel. Looks good!!!

   I have a preference for 3 columns but this one is definitely a smooth and easy theme to look at!

   Happy Thanksgiving!

   Happy Thanksgiving Vivian.

   I actually liked the old theme better. Although I like a minimalist approach to things this is a bit too minimalist for my taste considering the subject matter, etc. of this blog. The old theme had an air of gravitas that seemed to be a perfect fit for your writing… or something like that… don’t pay too much attention to my ramblings, I was up way too late playing video games last night. ;>

   Being a conservative, I am, of course, against any kind of change.

   I like the old one. Craig said what I was thinking, but did it much better because he used the word ‘gravitas.’

   Happy Thanksgiving Vivian. I like the change, but think three columns frames your content better. Enjoy the day …

   I like it, but I tend to agree with the others that the three-column layout lends itself to your content better. Your site is a great landing source of information, and finding the information easily is a characteristic of what you’ve done well.

   Well… it goes well with my “white label” brand Vodka called… Vodka. And of course I have matching bottles of gin, bourbon and scotch (single malt of course).

   LOL

   Actually VJP I like it alot! I’d switch my blogs over to it but I don’t want to be called a copycat…

   Um, somebody explain “gravitas” to me

   As for three columns – y’all’s minds must be playing tricks on you I’ve never had a three-column theme (because WP.com doesn’t have many and none with a custom header). I do wish there was a good 3-column theme. The one I was using was the most versatile 2-column theme here at WP (IMHO, of course).

   I dig it. I think you can tweak and nudge it into something great. Keep at it. I think the initial disconcerting thing for your readers is the meta-info column being on the right, instead of the left.

   And Grumpy, I’d be grumpy too, if I had to drink off brand gin and vodka!

   You know, MB – I used to have the sidebar on the right. I moved it to the left last January.

    Gravitas is best explained by Steven Colbert and Stone Phillips:

    I like the new theme, but prefer the side bar on the left.

    So what you’re saying is that you’re a flip-flopper?

    This theme doesn’t give me the option to put it on the left. (One of the reasons I stayed with Regulus for so long was that it had that option.)

    Ah, now I know about gravitas That was a great video.

    I like the new theme, but it would be better if your posts had time as well date stamps on them.

    Brian, that’s the way the theme was written. It doesn’t show time. (FYI – my old theme didn’t show time until last week, either.)
