A new look?

Yes, we're experimenting with a new look - I like the dynamic views for the blog - and I am partial to either sidebar, classic or magazine.  Give it a try...let me know what you like and what we should add or change!

We can always go back to the old look...but it never hurts to change things up now and then

Kudos for trying something new.
Kudos for asking us what we think.
Raspberry for the way some of the viewing options make my eyes hurt.
Raspberry for the way some of the viewing options don't show the posting dates.
Raspberry for the way the sidebar cuts off the titles of the posts.
Raspberry to me for not coming up with a better way to list the pluses and minuses.

Overall score: liked the old look better.
