Sidebars

Asked “why the blank space on the sides?”

I have to say, I don’t like sidebars, I think they clutter up space too much and if you can avoid them you might as well. My index has everything on it that I want, nothing other then blog links or a shoutbox I could add and feel pleased about the purpose of the addition.

My next release I plan another “slider” with the activity and a shoutbox at the top. Then I’ll make the rolling archives the full width of the bottom page making it more of a continuation of the posts above.

I understand that not having sidebars looks abnormal from other blogs but that’s the point, I want something that is designed different and puts the info about me or my blog in a better style then the cookie cutter styles that are so prominent. I’ve been to too many blogs where it’s an overload of info, left and right and you can’t even focus on the content within the first few seconds so you move along. I hate that.

Does anyone even look at sidebars anymore? I don’t.

FYI. I’m still not finished with the width, I need to collect some info before find the perfect content width.
