I like: the old tagline over the new, the current header, the star with # of comments – cool that it matches your logo, the sitemeter icon (don’t remember seeing that before)

I dislike: the essential reading links – too loud, then the “topics” right below is equally as plain

Everything else I really don’t have an opinion on either way.

nice! this redesign is head and shoulders better than before. i love the way the sidebar looks now.

the only thing i dont like now is the tagline. too long in my opinion.

Essential Reading is good!

All the updates make me wish I was more handy with sites myself… I’m so horrible with them, I hardly know what I’m doing, haha. The scariest part is facing the leap to paid hosting, YIKES. I’m frightened by the thought yet. (And yeah, I’d like to learn enough about site construction/design to do it all myself… Handy skill, even if I never use it for anything else, no?)

Comment star is awesome, it was my favorite change. I also think the backgrounds for the “essential reading” links are kinda… Odd. Just seems out of place to me, for some reason. I like the “Do what you love” bit, but how about adding a “now” to it? Just my own thought, of course, but it seems more in line with you than just saying it without. Since, ya know, we don’t all have to wait until we’re old to live adventurously.

Can’t wait to see your new series coming up!

The new site design looks good. The tag-line is simple so three lines aren’t bad. All the colors on the right sidebar are distracting though. Overall it looks good.

Looking good, Baker! The comment star was the first change I noticed, and my favorite as well.

I agree with some of the other commenters that the that the right side bar is too inconstant and distracting in the coloring (geez… why does everyone have to pick on that last 5% that needs to be done?!?)… but everything looks awesome. Very clean layout, and very accessible. I like the social media icons, and militia graphics. Well done!

I’m a big fan of the website. Since you asked…I like the header image and the comment star is cool. I’m not a fan of the side bar Most popular section. Also I don’t know why but I feel like the site got darker. Maybe it’s just me. You have a great happy picture at the top with smiles and that as I work down the page things get darker.
