   i like the orange and grey (orange-to-dark-grey rollover definitely included), and the kelly-green for-black swap in the header image. but those fat fields of stark white are kind of jarring, or disconnective. doesn’t have the sense of continuity that the old schema did.

   right sidebar css could maybe use a little padding and border element tweaking.

   the black-until-you-click-on-them fields in the leave-a-reply space kind of weirded me out until i clicked on them. but i think i enjoyed the experience. very one in the morning, twilight zone kind of thing. the fact that they go black again when you click out of them is sartre-grade freaky. and having to make the existential guess that the black thing under this text box is…or is it?…the submit button, well, you’re just in kamandiland with that shit.

   i hope it works.

   just my two cents.

   header image is a rotator, that hasn’t changed at all. i think there are like 8 images in there, some of which i might remove today.

   the stark white is the main reason i did this whole thing. the unifying black made everything bunch together and this sorta lifts and separates, if you will.

   sidebar padding is in the works. comments stuff i can’t see from my screen so that’s a big help, i’ll tinker with those to make them visible.

   Orange on grey is not fun to look at.
   I like the white.
