This grid thing is new to me, so I designed what I want it too look like (we are looking at that design now) and then I'm going to overlay an image of this site over an image of Nathan's grid, to line things up and do the math, then I'll work on coding it over at my sandbox. Hopefully, I can swap the grid based design of what we are looking at right now over the non-grid css I used to visualize with little trouble. Hopefully ... I think, if I learn and get this right this time around, that I'll be dedicated to the grid framework from here on out too. It's a really precise way to design. @Wess: All you have to do is knock out the left and right walls and expand! :)

I have always been a big fan of you minimalist designs! Really like the new header image and logo too. As far as grid designs go, take a look at the Blueprint CSS framework also. The grid.css controls the grid and helped me to understand the whole grid appeal. Since then, I will never go back to something that is not based on a grid! Looks great Shawn!

That's what I was going for on my redesign of grid focus, but mine just isn't quite as fat as yours shawn. yeah, i like the real estate for sure. fat sidebars are great.

I went fat because I wanted three ad blocks per row, rather than two. Everything seems to lining up w/ the grid framework too.

You need to stop killing your links bro! I took a peak at your Mint during your switch and saw all those 404 errors ... That can't be good after the 7th or 8th switch! @Ben - Yeah.

I can't say much to you about redesigning, because I tend to do it a lot too. I am glad to hear that you've settled on the CMS. You're permalinks and Google searches will thank you! :) That said, I think this will be my last redesign for some time. Ben, you’re the man!
