And there we go - New look complete!

When I posted a thread over at Bloggst asking for some feedback on my blog, the response was pretty much as expected, asking mainly for some more colour in the design. Like you’ll know, I tried switching to another theme, but I decided that I really love the fundamentals of what I already had worked out. As a result, I decided to do some work with it, and what you’re looking at now is more or less the finished product.
You should be able to tell the distinct difference. I’ve worked on the colours, and done some basic changes to the setup, although everything is still based around the old setup. Hopefully you’ll like it, as I’m quite pleased with it myself, and I’ve taken a liking to it myself - I feel it’s simple, like I want it to be, but not quite as boring as a medical journal any more 
Comments are of course appreciated!
This also marks a bit of a turn for my blog, as I will shift the focus a bit. From being mainly an outlet for my personal rantings and banterings every now and then when I feel like it, I will start posting more frequently, in an attempt to make it a bit more interesting for the readers, and at the same time attract more of you. This also means narrowing down the categories I write about a bit, and I will be stripping out some of the things that I don’t see myself writing about in the future. I will mainly be focusing on web trends, internet marketing and project development (productivity included). Of course, everything will still have a personal touch, and be based around my own opinions and experiences.
Hopefully I’ll be able to attract a few more readers, and still be able to enjoy my writing with this change - Time will tell!
The colors are really soothing, congratulations on that.
Only thing I might add is about comments:
On the main page, I read the post, I come to the end, and to comment on it I have to scroll back up. I think it’s generally a good idea to put the comments link at the bottom of the post on the main page (if you’re showing the whole post).
Other than this, it’s perfectly arranged.
Happy blogging to you with your new decoration
Thank you Mengu - I’ll see what I can do about that
And yeah, I think I’ll enjoy blogging even more doing it in a more “soothing” (as you put it) environment 
Ooo, I like it, Lars. I haven’t kept up with your changes (sorry), but I do love the clean lines and the subtle colours. The “lc’ divider line is very classy.
I think it’s spot on! Well done.
Thanks Gerald, glad that you like it! I’m really liking it myself the more I look at it
I’ve always had a lot of trouble finding the right color for the blog. I think the most difficult part is to find a color that is kind of inviting for the readers, but at the same time not too distrcting. Also the font color of blog’s header may play a difference.
I’m using Wordpress and I’ve actually experimented with variety of color scheme and styles, but finally decided to just use the default Kubrick scheme since I really liked its simplicity.
