I have returned, so to speak.
For those who have only just recently visited my humble abode, I took a short leave of absence from blogging to re-evaluate the “why” of blogging.
The new layout has progressed extremely well and overall, believe that I am close to getting the “look and feel” I have wanted for some time now. More to come, including why I have taken said leave, why I have chosen to begin again and what I hope this new, fresh layout will achieve.

The design? I really like it. I like something clean and reasonably minimal, without being too cold. I think you’ve hit that spot pretty well.

sorry for the delay - the day job never sleeps…
i think it’s great that you’re back in the blogosphere brendan :)
and i think if anyone is going to get the most out of wordpress it’ll be you…
wow - i really like the dynamic comment preview - in your words “that is assume” ;)
is that standard w/ wordpress or some of your special magic?

A little bit of standard WP, a little bit of magic. :)

well it rocks, all blogging applications should be this way…
very, very nice feature - plus by subscribing to the comment thread for the entry it keeps the conversation going automatically (if desired) - instead of the manual approach we usually need to use…
very cool brendan :)

It is a cool feature. It’s also very handy if one wishes to post semantic formatted entries with various forms of manipulated text as the results of various html and markdown code can be seen in real time. :)
The preview and subscription features are actually a plugins for WordPress however, so I can’t take all the credit for that. But I have done a lot of stuff to clean up both plugin code as well as default WP behaviour so it renders things more semantically.
