Thanks Sydney!
I actually like the 2 columns design more, but I have too many things on the sidebar now.
I also think the advertisers will be happier with more visibility on the left side bar.

Nice job on the new theme RB40! Looks good and loaded pretty quick. I use Thesis myself and have been happy with it. A 3 column design sure can hold a lot more than 2 and fills up the page well.

RB40 nice clean look. Is there a twitter button to tweet posts, can I see it?

Nice clean look.
One thing I noticed- when I visit the site on my desktop I can see everything. But when I logged in on my netbook- I have to scroll to see the right column. I'm assuming this is because Thesis is probably a FIXED WIDTH theme, right?
Just wanted you to be aware of this…
Have FUN!

Thesis has an option of being a page framework or full-width framework.

I set it to fixed width right now @ 1200 pixels.
I think that's OK for PC and laptops. I'll have to figure out a solution for mobile and tablets/netbook.
Maybe remove one column for those cases?
@Barb
If you click into each post, then you can see the share buttons on the side bar.
I'll have to figure out how to add twitter & facebook like buttons on the home page.
Thanks for the feedback

I like the new look Joe! The tan color on the sides is not my favorite though.
I suggest you run YSlow on your site and make some adjustments. I just ran it and you have a few things to fix.
1) Use gzip compression. W3 Total Cache should do the trick
2) Use Content Delivery Network (CDN) for static components. Pretty easy to fix in YSlow, just click on CDN tab and click on all the Add as CDN buttons.
Those are the easy changes. You will need to do a little research to fix the other items.

It looks really sharp Joe, nice job. It's really hard to keep all the important elements in view with only 2 columns. Three's a charm.
