I’m planning on launching another upgrade to the look and feel of this blog - no major changes to the functionality, but I want to bring it in line with the incuBeta website theme. Now what better way to test out the theme then by posing this question to you, my loyal readers!? I must thank Keith (incuBeta’s Designer - who is an absolute whiz!) who put this design together. I didn’t post the whole PSD because it was too big, but this JPG file should give you a rough idea.
And if you don’t like it, please say so and please make recommendations - you’re the ones that have to look at it every day!

Hi Vinny,
Fine indeed. Just one point, instead of the right and left grey laterals, I prefer the current colour.

wow i really like the new design! great look, bold, crisp, innovative… perhaps instead of making the background two shades of gray just make it the lighter shade of gray instead? Hmm i don’t know…

Very nice — bold & crisp.
Your new design has the rounded edges popular with the current Web 2.0
The main section is fine as is but if you are going to place your main section on what now is a gray and dark gray (almost black) background, consider colors that would be harmonious with your orange buttons. As an example, if you use #FF9A57 for your buttons (I am not sure which color you have chosen, but this is an orange shade) use a harmonious background such as #BD4B00 and #A34100 or something within the range of colors.
I like to use this free tool when I pick colors:

I think the new theme of your blog really matches well with the themes of the Incubeta group sites.

I agree with Gordon - I like the new blog design. It looks warm and a lot more inviting.
Change is always good! Well done Keith, great design.

Personal bias - my favorite color is orange. I think the new design is also simpler than the current. I am a big fan of simple interfaces.
