Even if we had the worlds greatest painting on the wall we get tired of looking at it. Change even for the worse feels fun.

It’s hard to say – every design is different.

Randa, a bravo to you here, as this re-design is even better than the previous one! Hopefully, you’ll bring more surprise to us.

Can’t think of any new links for your internal sidebars – the site design is beautiful. Anything more would almost feel cluttered, in my opinion. I like it as it stands – very “web 2.0″ (to be horribly cliche).

Let the design sink in! I find that web developers/designers stare at their sites just a wee bit too much during the startup phase; it might seem plain/boring to you, but that’s because perfectionists tend to obsess about their projects. I had a neighbor who was meticulous about her garden – she nurtured it on a daily basis, and as she grew older, it slowly became more cluttered as she began pouring more and more into it. Now, being her personal hobby, I can’t criticize her – to each their own – but the concept carries weight: she was passionate about it to the point that she may have added TOO much, at least for the casual onlooker. To her, it was refreshing and new, but it was messy from the outside looking in.

Again, gorgeous design.

I must say I like this new design. Currently I”m restyling my own websites but haven’t found it easy yet because of this new template and buildingsystem I’m using.

This has opened a can of worms for me, I’m very impressed with the 960 grid. I was only thinking the other day about the potential benefit of something like this.

Also based on your post looked into CSS Sprites. Another very interesting way of doing things. Two things to consider when doing my next site.

Also, Like the design very much!
