I love the new design. The old one is a bit too bright/white for me.

I agree with comment#1

Thanks Guys,

I've changed the border round the input boxes to match the grey on the borders of the site. I also placed a grey border round the comment area – what do you think?

I also love your new design. It looks uncluttered and the colors are great, easy on the eye. The addition of us writers in the footer is a really neat way to showcase contributors too.

I second David's comment about the text box outline. If it wasn't for the smileys it would be even harder to see.

Sterling work, Kevin. I think this is definitely a step up.

When leaving this comment, I found the text fields difficult to spot. One suggestion might be to darken the box outlines ever so slightly. Regardless, great improvement.

we looked at that area a lot. We decided to make it grey so that it was seperate from the main post area. We originally had the continue reading link above the postmeta area but with that we effectively had two lines of info after the content – eg a level with the continue reading and a level with the filed under. Of course, we could just use a standard continue reading text link but I quite like the image and think it makes it look more professional

I like the new design… but the "continue reading" link isn't very clear. It's located in the place where social bookmarking buttons and stuff like that… which are usually ignored.

I would put it in the end of the text like a regular link.
