The reason for dropping the big and beautiful icon was so it didn't compete with my personal logo in the header. I've also added a little colour to tie in with <a href="http://www.davidairey.com/" target="new" rel="nofollow">my portfolio site</a>. That’s a good point ilker. :)

I think you should consider bringing the big RSS button back, even if you put it at the bottom right most of the blog. I had to look for it (on a specific post) and couldn't find.. had to go back to the frontpage to get it!! Just don't expect this much effort from all your readers ;) Well..

I added contact details to the 'contact' page rather than asking readers to click-through to my portfolio site where there's a contact form (I'm going to include a contact form on my blog once I have time). The quote by Mao was displayed incorrectly. It's important to get the little details right in my profession. There's now a 'search' feature 'above the fold'. This is one of the bigger changes. Some of the coding was changed to improve validation, although with so much third party code I'm not spending too long on this. The RSS icon was decreased in size so as not to compete with my personal logo. Gone is my <a href="http://www.davidairey.com/blog/what-rss-are-you/" rel="nofollow">big and beautiful RSS icon</a>. I still have to work on my resources section, and a few other things in my list, but it's a good start. ilker, the differences so far are as follows:
