I thought the earlier design was sleeker, one of the best I've ever seen in fact. But I do like the customization on the 'M with pointy tail' logo now with the feed curves on the side. It's really cool.

That _is_ Acropolis in front of you, isn't it? Hmm.

All change eventually gets accepted even if grudgingly.

The last template took into account that a vast majority of your readers is used to scan-reading left to right. That assumption is used in most blog templates even the flexible ones. The presence of a third left column stands in the way of that scanning (come on, you are a branding guy; surely you know how ads etc are designed for maximum impact!). The last one was visually more appealing too because the use of colour was clever and bold. But who am I to say? Your blog, your choice. Those who do not like it can always stop reading :-)

I like the white so much better. Manu times over. For one, 'Heroes' stays 'Heroes' and doesn't mutate into anything communicable. :) I second Mr.Swain on the 'M' in the masthead, though. Could do away with it, even. Since it already hovers king size over the 'About' just below.

The new design feels a little tighter.. I like the old one better. This looks like a normal wordpress.com blog, the old one had a better feel to it.. +1 to Gaurav's point black n red are your colours man.. why change?
PS: Just noticed the header keep changing cool =)

I prefer this one.. have always preferred Whites :)

also any specific reason you kept the text on the header image? what theme are you using can always be mentioned at the footer of the page.

It is nice. you keep changing and reinveting yourself, while I remain in the same old template.

Like this brand new theme. But is it possible to reduce the *Manuscrypts* image. It look tab bit bigger than required!

Rest is fab. +1 on that!
