It’s funny how much work this layout actually was. Simplicity isn’t easy. It was impossible to get the rounded corner to fit right below the header. I couldn’t really figure out where to put my Q*Bee link, my Twitter roll (9/21/08: Twitter Roll, nice), or my Flickr feed. I don’t like how my sidebar is arranged anymore (eww widgets).
For my next layout, I’ll be using a simpler less Wordpress like sidebar organization. The layout didn’t really change much from the last layout in terms of entry and comment organization. Aesthetically very different, but not so much internally. I’ve begun working on the next layout already!!
Final note: Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!
I second the simplicity isnt easy!! I feel like I could take the same amount of time I put in on a “simple” layout and make a really difficult, out of this worlllld layout! lol.
Happy New Year. I’ve noticed that no layout is really perfect, and some are really great but you just get tired of them. I wish I had time right now to make a new layout, but I really like this one. I like the curves and the layered look you utilized. Good luck making one that you’re happier with. I know it’s not easy.
I think this layout looks very pretty:) Good luck with organizing everything:D
And Happy New Year:)
Interesting color theme.
And yeah - simple is good, but not always easy to do. I love using widgets, but I like to edit them a lot. Good luck with the new layout.
It is definitely much easier to make a complicated layout, cause if you mess up, it looks on purpose. Simple layouts have to be kept clean otherwise you’ll see mistakes.
You did a nice job though!
Happy New Year!
Have a great Year! and the layout is well done, u can tell it wasn’t as easy, although there’s much simplicity in it!
