    Colours are cool, but the single column design was way better.

    I’m digging the overall look, one of the few negatives is the whole having to click ‘read more’ for each and every post. Not sold either way on the two columns ish.

    ATI: Most of these display pics look pretty horrendous indeed, but you can easily fix that by getting a Gravatar which works on countless other sites as well without any effort. Check out http://www.gravatar.com

    I agree with several other comments, the look is cool but the layout of stories is really bothering me.
    Though I fear change, I would not mind the blog changing as long as it keeps a single column design.

    Looks awful, It seems cluttered & confused. Not sure ’bout dark grey text on black either. But that’s just my opinion.

    easier to navigate since everything is in sections (but I’m organized like that)

    Fine with colors. Sucks I have to open a new tab to read EVERY post in it’s entirety.

    Layout, colors, etc. Dope though.

    nay. loved the original layout of TRU. The colors and fonts and header are great, but agreed about the multi-columns. People (new readers) who aren’t used to seeing blogs with multi-columns could very well be turned off by the layout.

    nay- it feels like a blog tryna be a fullblown news website (if u know what i mean). the reason the last standard blog layout worked was because it was in synergy with the laid back content, almost intimate, immediate and accessible<<<if u find a way to do that without going back to the old one completely, i think you'll find many yays
