Personally I love it, I don't like fancy graphics distracting me from what I want to read. Minimalism is one of those art directions that not everyone is going to like, its all about content.

From here I went to buying 'dont make me think' and I just wanna say thank you. It is indeed a nifty short book. :) Keep it up and cheers. Hiho,

Nothing better than new information to keep one up to date.

We're using a top commenters plugin already, and we do have a featured posts section, but we don't use any images with it. Definitely something to consider. :) Brian – Thanks for the feedback.

I dunno... There is a lot of empty space to the right at the bottom of the page... <em>Something</em> would be nice - as long as it isn't too cluttered. (I HATE cluttered blogs) I would tend to shy away from socializing network buttons as well - everyone has them, and they tend to be a little 'ad-ish' as well. (I would reccomend 'Add to Technorati Favorites' though) Something like a <a href="http://www.pfadvice.com/wordpress-plugins/show-top-commentators/" rel="nofollow">top commentors</a> plug-in could be nice (and encourage people to comment, and come back to comment). Another thing I want to see some bloggers toy with (and I shall when I get my new layout up) is a 'featured post.' It would simply be an image in the sidebar or footer linking to a post that the author likes. I think it would be a great way to highlight old (but good) posts. I gotta run. Hope that helps! Hm…
