We've changed a few things

Howdy y'all, welcome to version 7. A lot has changed, and you'll notice everything is a little more streamlined as well as for the first time in a few years, we're using a fixed width design.
If anything looks out of place or doesn't seem right, try refreshing the page a few times.
I've done testing in Firefox, Chrome, IE7, IE8, and although I haven't done extensive testing in it, Opera should also be fine. Tired old IE6 hasn't been invited to the party this time, but I bet you're not surprised.
Also for the first time I've used some of the newer CSS3 techniques, which means Firefox and Webkit based browsers will notice some extra bling, like rounded corners and shadows.
As usual your feedback and any bug reports are welcome.
Update: Bugs squashed! Thanks for the feedback.

Monday 12th October 2009 | 05:50 AMLOVE the new design. The only issue I have is that I would have put the images above the articles on the homepage.

Yeah it could have gone either way - the images looked good in all the positions I tried so I did what I usually do when that happens - let the most important element be the primary one. So the titles ended up before the images.

Monday 12th October 2009 | 10:03 AMI love that RL keeps improving. Everytime it's updated it's "good enough" and always one of the nicest blogs around - but you just keep working on it anyway, Mike.
Fantastic stuff.

Monday 12th October 2009 | 04:42 PMThe new design is great, but I prefer the old one.
You can't please everyone all the time.
Hey Mike. The site looks great! Still no ad space? You guys
definately are more charitable than I am. Must be my capitalist
indoctrination. Keep up the good work.
