And if you ARE looking at this on an RSS reader, please visit the site to see what I'm about to talk about.
I think it looks pretty awesome. Look at the new logo! That was designed by a graphic designer and I think it looks particularly awesome. So awesome I'm planning on using it for picks in the future!
I put a little bit of work in getting the template the right size but realized my videos are a bit too big and push out into the side bar. Also, there will be more tabs on top to help navigate the site. Perhaps I won't have to move to WordPress after all!
Anyway, I'm looking for some feedback. Is the background too bright? Is it too distracting? Anything that will make coming here as easy and pleasurable as possible, please let me know and I'll see what I can do.
In the meantime, I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome the newest contributing author, PT of Six String Bliss fame. I'm glad to have him on board hopefully giving you one more thing to look forward to with his weekly blog released on Tuesdays. I hope you guys and gals like his writing as much as I do.
So in summary: Please leave feedback on the new site layout and check out the previous post about guitar shop browsing etiquette.

Well, since you asked, I do think that the background is a little too light, but it won't stop me from coming here. I do like the way that the previous blogs fill in below the current one; less hunting around if you missed one (but who would do that?).
Quite frankly, I don't care what the site looks like, just so long as you keep the excellent content.
I like the new look.Background is ok to my eyes.
I'm no design expert, but my thoughts are:
1. The background is fine
2. You could use a little more contrast between the text and background
3. I like the logo, but it's a little tall. For people using a phone or netbook they may have to scroll a fair bit to see any of the text.
How's the logo now?
I tend to read on RSS feed, so I don't often see it. I like the logo and the background but not sure if they fit together. The logo has a very "classic" 50s-ish look to it, whereas the background has a more modern grungy feel. Somehow don;t gel together. IMO of course.
Looks rad, Pappy.
