@Miss T, np :)

 

@Doctor Stock, thanks :). You should get up off the couch and go for a run then write about it and i'll post it up :). Do you mean the way the comments make the page really long?

I like the "my fitness" widget.

I don't care for all the comments dragging the page down.

I enjoy the overall feel... it almost made me get off the couch and run.

@Khaleef, thanks , where do you mean to make the splits?

@101, Thanks, need to do a full cross browser look and see what I can fix!

@Miss T, thanks :), trying to fix it up (it's Forest btw, not Tony :) ).

Sorry Forest. I thought Tony wrote something here too about his new design as well. Oops.

There is some white space between the two areas, but it can still be easy for your eyes to wander across when reading. I like the idea of having the last few posts across the top.

It is cleaner and easier on the eyes.

In Firefox and Safari, the font was a little small and a bit hard to read.

If you added a thin line or 2 to separate the sections, that might help keep the reader focused a little better.

@20sFinances, thanks :)

@The Penny Hoarder, thanks, you should follow along and maybe just get back into it. If you do go for a run and fancy writing a guest post about your first experience back feel free to write one for the site. Obviously you'll get a byline.

@SavingMentor, thanks, that is what I am aiming for.

@OneCentAtATime, thanks, positive and negative feedback are both as useful. The font has been updated, had quite a few complaints on that. I am keeping the clean and white look for now but will be looking at injecting a little more color. I did it all myself.

@Squirrelers, thanks. I am not 100% happy with the logo yet, was just a quick concept I came up with to start the site with. I think you are right about a touch more colour. I made a change to the font.

@SoOverDebt, I can change formats post to post, you can see a more conventional one on the About Page. To make the intro a little less confusing I moved the image down a bit so it doesn't just jump. On the welcome post the sidebar actually sits below.

@DebtEye, is it looking any better now?

@TonyChou, oh no!!! What browser was you using and what operating system?

Thanks everyone.

 Chrome. And it's weird, because no one else seems to be having this problem.

Thanks Hunter. Yeah I would be in for that....

 

Hey Suba, that was just the beginning of the post. I just used the full width for the welcome but seems to be confusing a lot of people. A more conventional layout has been used for my first real post: http://regularrunner.com/my-first-run-at-thirty-working-out-goals/

I was a little confused about the side bars though. I was not sure if the "Finally I made it up the hill, no stopping, not a lot of speed either but I made it," is part of the post or that will stay there (like an abbreviated About section). I don't know if that make sense?

You might also want to move the social buttons to somewhere above the fold?

Other than that it is great!

Great lifestyle theme too. I'm throwing around some ideas for a cycling blog, and would be happy to build a community at Yakezie.
