I have been gone only for a week and look now, so many things have changed. Congrats buddy on your new design, I specially like the name of the theme. Wow, nice new design.

Anyway, I'm happy you like it and find it peaceful... :) I guess it’s because a few things have changed: sidebar from right to left, use of right alignment and other little things.

And I've got to say I liked it a lot... However it took me sometime to get used to the new layout, but thats not a problem. Anyway, well done!

And please, you're American, don't call it "reddish", instead tell me what the name of this color is - if any...hehe... ;) *@ Aaron:* I know, styling the entry headers was one of the most difficult things. I tried to make them bold, but they were clashing with the overall look; I tried small caps, but it wasn't enough. And considering that I'd prefer not to use another color, I had to go with all-caps and darkening them a bit, but maybe it's not enough. *@ Shawn:* at the beginning, the footer was centered, but literally minutes before uploading the design, I decided to align it left. Actually, I didn't like it either, that's why I've just centered it again. I've also put some padding on the "archives page":http://finotto.org/archives/, I completely forgot to do it before...oops... Thanks for your suggestions! *@ Chris:* Thanks, I'm glad you like it. But now I want to see what you've got for us! :) Thanks for all your kind words! :)

I love the way you've got alternating Gravatar's happening, as well as the professionalism of the whole design. Very nice work! :D Now perhaps if I could finish mine... Woah!

The colors are great. The header image is nicely done and the little touches like the link hovers on you "Mylicious" and "Blogroll" lists are a nice touch as well. Very readable as well. Great job my friend and I agree that this is your best yet. I think the only thing that I see that bothers me at this point is the footer text. I see that your header text is pretty much centered and then footer is off center. It just feels a bit off to me for some reason, but that is just a minor personal preference. Also, glad you are enjoying my Archives plug-in, I might suggest adding some left padding to that particular list though, just to give it a bit of indent. I really like this new design Michele.

I think emphasis on your titles would help a bit, it seems too neutral. This layout is a big step from the previous design! Great work, and by the way, I love the type faces.

I'm glad to see that orange color go away. Lately I have been "Oranged Out", but this "reddish" tone is very pleasant and fits your personality. I like the little arrows that pop up when you hove the links area on the main page. The "subtle details" are what make a site your own. I'm going to digg further to see what else I can find.
