Hi all – I upgraded my typepad account today in order to make two changes to the layout of the site. This will only be of interest to those of you who actually visit the site, as opposed to those who only use the RSS. I’ve always hated the fact that the template I used forced me to waste so much space on the left side of the screen. Now I can make use of all that space. I also hated how invisible the titles of my posts were. Personally, I found it a little difficult to easily see where one post left off and another began. I’ve played around a bit with colors and font sizes and think it looks quite a bit more clear now. Do you agree? Do you like? There may be some additional tweaks to come, but those were the two biggies I wanted to address right away.

Hey Paul, nice job – looks reeeeeal nice! As yes, much, much easier to read.

Personally, I find really wide blocks of text harder to read, though. For some reason, my eye seems to lose the line about half way across the page. I guess that’s why I seem to stick to fixed-width themes on my blog 🙂
OK folks, we need some tiebreakers here! Please don’t tell me I shelled out on the account upgrade for nothing. (Maybe I should’ve asked y’all first!)
