But thanks for the reminder :) The links: unvisited links are underlined and visited links are dotted. All browsers seem to have some issues with the dotted borders so I'll see how I gonna change it. My major change goal of the new design was the increased font size. After some time I got tired of the "small" size and since I intended to give the page a larger width, I also adjusted the font size. At the same time I tried to keep about the same width for the articles and as I had a very small sidebar before it does look a bit odd with the new sidebar. I got used to it but if I hear some people asking for a smaller sidebar maybe I'll adjust it then :) The Google ad at the bottom of the page is one of the minor things I still need to play with.

There are some little things though which could be done different, like the style under your links in the text, it looks like it's dotted underline or perhaps dashed, but they clutch together on parts. Not sure if this is just an issue with firefox or not, know I had the same when I was playing around with my underlining in the past though. Also everything is nicely in line now except the google ad below the comment field, I'd say center it below the comment field or place it in line with the comment field (10px to the right or so?) Like what you did to the sidebar though, even though it's quite big it doesn't really look too big, I suppose that comes due to the increased text size. Did give a good space though to place links and categories in a tidy fashion.
