@Swap @Manish @Arky Whoa! That’s a glaring bug. I disabled the WP-Identicon plugin and it’s all working now. Unfortunately, this does not happen when a user is logged in, that’s why I never came across this before.

I keep wondering, how do you bump into such brilliant designers?
The old design was awesome and this one tops that!

@Swaroop: Click on my name in this comment. Does it take you to my home page? Or do you get a 404.

Swaroop, just click on any of the comment author's website. It's adding the following to their URL:

%27%20rel=%27external%20nofollow%27%3E%3Cimg%20class=

Nice theme though, I think I should think of a change as well!

@Manish Can you please provide some specific instances where the author name URL was broken?

And yes, you're right about the print stylesheet.

You need a print stylesheet. You can copy it from my site.

By the way, you need to do a lot of work on your theme. e.g. clicking on the author name in a comment doesn’t take you to the author’s website, thanks to broken URLs. I think if you test this theme you’ll find a lot of issues.

@Paul Unfortunately, I realized much late in the cycle that it was a fixed-width layout. However, one advantage is that a fixed-width layout means it looks better on all screen sizes.

@Manoj Thanks!

@Ramjee Hehe, thanks for the candid feedback. Yes, it does require getting used to do, but there are some reasons for me preferring this new design, which you will know in due time

Swaroop,

I like the old theme better. I was a big fan of the colors. The content of your blog always went with that color, bright, red, proactive, insightful, opiniated etc.
Difficult for me to take this.
I like the home page though, simple and elegant.
Except for the coloring, the new design is good. (i still say the old one rocks).
