tweaking

So, instead of redesigning this blog from scratch, I just used a typepad template and tweaked it with some sloppy CSS. 

A few quick trials - a three column design looked too busy, but the two column version seems too wide.  And I am not sure if it is my eyes, my screen or just that this still doesn't look too readable.  Not that it should worry many as I think most of you read this blog through a feed reader.  And yeah yeah if the content stinks no-one will read it (but I am thankful for the few of you who do).

Anyway, leave me suggestions before I go ahead and clean up the CSS and tweak the last few bits that need tweaking.  Reduce the font size and make the line-spacing tighter? Lose the serif fonts?  Narrower post column? Put the links list - desparately needing an update -back on the left?

Whaddya reckon?

Feed reader? I like to visit the blog itself. :)

Well, I liked ye olden D@B but if you're up for a change it's OK for readability as far as I can tell.

I like the look - it's easy to read - but it would be handy to have your blogroll on the other side of the page. Otherwise there's an awful lot of scrolling!

Also, like CL, I visit blogs themsleves. The only time I don't is when compiling Missing Link, where I use Ken's google reader. I like the graphics, feel and design that individual bloggers put into their sites.

If the font size could be reduced slightly, I'd be thankful; but otherwise it's very noice.
