What do you think? Not 100% yet, but I'm really liking this new style so far.
*Update* - Of course it's broken in IE.

You need to change the form css because the comments box is almost non-existent in both IE7 and FF.
Also, I think change the color attribute for links in the pods. The blue on gray is not readable.
I took a look at the style sheet associated with this design and I would like to offer a couple of recommendations.
1. Change then menu css to (I tested in IE7 and FF2)
<code>
/* navigation menu */
#menu
{ height: 38px;
line-height:32px;
width: 760px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
</code>
2. Rearrange your pods. The Google adds take up way too much space and push your projects and calendar too far down the page. I use google ads in mine and I think I found the right balance.
These are just my opinions so use them as you see fit.
Thanks for the advice - it's much appreciated.
Can I make one suggestion (and this is for all BlogCFC'ers)... please put the "Post" button before the "Cancel" button in the comments form. I'm a tab-tab-tab-enter kind of guy and I occasionally cancel the form (when I meant to submit).
I know this is silly, minor detail, but I think it breaks standards. Most forms have the "Submit" button earlier in the tab-indexing. Just my 2 cents.
But the general new look/feel of the site is very cool! Well done.
In style.css add background color to the calendarToday
.calendarToday {
font-weight: bold;
background-color:#D1D3D7;
}
In colour.css separate .sidebaritem like this.
.sidebaritem, .sidebaritem a
{ background: transparent;
border-bottom: 1px dashed;
color: #D1D3D7;
}
.sidebaritem a:hover
{
background: transparent;
color: #101010;
border-bottom: 1px solid;
}
The border will put space between each of the links so if it is too much leave it out.
I like the idea of the search at the top, just don't forget to take remove <cfmodule> and div tags from the search pod. Probably create a copy of the pod and then remove the tags in case you change your mind.
