The background doesn’t quite line-up on the new RSS and E-mail subscribe clip.
also, I’ve just noticed that depending on how large I make the window in IE the body and footer images go out of line.

Other than that, very nice changes.
Someday I hope my blog would be this pretty.

All the little details you’ve added really make a difference in how well-polished the site looks. I particularly like the background graphic in the comment form! Nice touch!

Thanks for the link to the hack to increase the number of search results per page. That was something I found frustrating (though obviously not enough so as to go hunt for a solution!)

Can I make a critique? I think most people are used to a top navigation, at least for the main content and it’s a little disorienting to have it only in the sidebar, where subnavigation usually goes. Also, as David noted above, the Search button is stick out a little on the right side (I’m forced to use IE6, though, so that may be a browser issue).

Updates look good. I was reading some where on your site that the paper was scanned. Was the paper clip scanned also or was it made?

Thanks

I love the new tweaks. I’m still looking for some floral background vector tutorials though.

Here’s to evolutionary changes.

I’m a big fan of redesign through subtle enhancements and re-thoughts rather than huge sweeping change.

Dude, you have your system’s anti-aliasing disabled? Are you nuts?!

Nice touches, Chris. I just noticed the background image here on the comment form. Is that new?

The italicized font does not render well in firefox. it looks great in the screen shot you have though. maybe its one of my settings. great updates!

Hey, your site is pretty cool. But I think, the type for you headlines isn’t the right one. I would choose another type.
