I always try to think of ways to break the mold but in the end the results usually still have a similar layout. I believe it is a nice way of presenting information. It gets old though. However, I may not be of the norm in that I prefer to read posts on the author's site rather than in my new reader. I like to read the text in a format and styling that the author intended it to be viewed in. This especially holds true to the sites of a lot of favorite designers, this site and openswitch. You never know what the site may look like on your next visit! I completely agree with you Shawn on the traditional blog layout.

I personally like a "magazine" site layout but haven't put in the time to load up a template and then manipulate and change it so that it's how I want it. What I have now took me long enough when I did it at that time.

Eventually they all start looking the same. I agree with you and Makeesha. 1) most people read in a reader and 2) I’m sick of the traditional blog layout. Eventually they all start looking the same.

I honestly thought about most people reading via feed readers before I started peeling this onion. What you say makes perfect sense. I'm just really frustrated at the limitations that the traditional blog layout forces us all towards. Seriously, I'm tired of the header, content, sidebar, and footer blocks. Man, it's boring. I'm restless and might peel this thing again before the evening is over! Anyone else tired of the same format? Ideas? Thoughts? @Makeesha: You are an awesome postmodern!
