I’m very excited to announce the first major redesign of the site since 2004! The new look incorporates our great new logo by Mike Rohde of MakaluMedia and a larger more readable font.
Feel free to comment if something doesn’t quite look right or doesn’t work. I’ll be making some minor tweaks over the coming days and hope to role out the redesign to the other blogs in the network over the next couple of weeks.

Nice clean, fresh design. Normally read your posts via RSS so can’t remember what the old site looked like!
Cheers

Looks great!
I would move the comment link to the bottom of the post.

Dane, the logo and site look great together —the colors really make the site feel clean and positive. Nnice work.
Thanks again for choosing to work with MakaluMedia and with me on your new logo design. I had a great time working with you on the logo process — now that it’s live I’m really proud of how it turned out. :-)
Best wishes to you and your refreshed site in 2007!

I agree with Angie about the comment link but other wise a fantatic redesign.

Dane:
I agree with Angie and Chuck, about the comment link. Also, I would move the navigation bar it’s mixing with the Google bar. It looks clean and fresh but I don’t like the light blue. Why don’t you use the logo colors for a better contrast? Dark blue is nice but orange and green could be fantastic at the background! Just like you did at the network blog once, remember? Awesome! And the links are too close to each other, a few more space in between them would be ok. Ah, and the header needs its letters bigger and stronger ;)
But the blog looks fashion now! The new logo is great and I’m sure the redesign came to celebrate a prosperous biz time!
All the best in 2007!

Congrats Dane on a beautiful redesign - long overdue ;-)
Very nice logo, and a general clean feel all round. I’m very impressed - all the best for 2007, mate.

Dane, just wanted to mention that I’ve just posted my writeup of designing the logo, for a little more detail on the creative process:

Happy new year Dane,
The new logo I like very much. Very clean and bright. It gives your site a more pro flavor.
Best Regards,
