Just in case some of you were doubting that I’m actually working on a new layout for SEB I thought I’d toss up a screen shot of what I’ve got so far:

This is only a partial, but it gets the general idea across. There’s still lots yet to be done so I’m continuing to pound away at it. Let me know what you think so far.

I had a look - I’m easy. I woulda made a good slut (is that an oxymoron or are there bad sluts?).
I gotta agree with a coupla others that mentioned a preference for ‘recent comments’ on the side.
As long as it’s nothing like THIS blandification I’ll be happier ... but if this is the best I can get I can get used to anything.

I’ve discovered that it all boils down to brain wiring: your brain is wired to worship magic or it isn’t, either it’s wired to utilize logic or it isn’t, either it’s analytical of myths or it isn’t.

Bugger. I didn’t Ctrl C.

What I said was - I don’t care. Anything’s gotta be better than this blandness.
I would like the ‘recent comments’ listed as before though for similar reasons as others have mentioned.
Side-bar? Prefer on the left but only coz I hate change.

Here I am complaining that the text is hard to read and I’ve got my screen resolution set at 1920X1200. I’m not gonna change it though so I’ll just have to continue increasing the font size when I come to the site. Small pale letters are my kryptonite.

Sidebar on the left is my preference but I’ll accept on the right gladly to have the look, as a whole, back.

Okay LJ, props you get.  This:

made me laugh out loud.

Les, if you wanted to keep the header small the way it appears in your sample, you could just have a buncha smaller “Les Heads” in different animated poses fading out to the right . . . kind of a “Many Moods of Les Jenkins” thing. 

I like the rest of the layout, and always liked the blue on black - it soothes me for some reason.

A les head that moves so is always looking in the direction of your mouse would be particularly cool, and when you place your mouse over you might see a facial expression. Heads made to look like they’re pickled in jars would also be neat.

Would also be interesting to replace smileys with various les heads

I’m a bit late to this party. There’s nothing wrong with going live with a partially complete template and follow up with incremental improvements.

It’s also technically possible to make different layouts - say which side which sidebar(s) go - user configurable.

I agree, it’s like if you had a graph, you would have a larger total integrating all the positive area than only the maximum. So in otherwords the total benefit is greater released earlier with incremental improvements. In this case ‘positive’ means any improvement.
