    I love the new look! Very sleek and edgy while keeping it simple. Well done!

      Why thank you! Still playing around with it, but so much better with WordPress.

    I like it. Although I find the moving social media panel quite annoying. Maybe you don’t need it? There’s one on the right panel and under your post. So to have yet another one shadow you while you scroll may be overkill?

    I like how the categories are collapsed, so not taking up space, and the popular posts and blog lists are easy to get too. Also like the color scheme and font choice. Clean and tidy.

      I totally agree with the floating social media panel. I am trying to remove it while still using the other widget. Soon to be removed I promise! Thanks for the feedback!

    Your blog is awesome, but it can use more New York Rangers references!

      My goal in 2015 is a weekly Rangers/Gardening mash-up, details still to be worked out.

    Change is always good. Just a matter of getting use to it at first!
    Nice lay-out, John!!
    For me, I like the new ‘Leave A Reply’ entry.

      Thanks Deborah! I’m still getting used to it myself but really do like it. Thanks for the feedback!

    I appreciate your honesty and your sense of humor. Both are key to keeping me reading. Plus you involve your life into the blog. The only comment is, sometimes the photos come in huge and I cannot see them. Not sure why, and it only happens every now and again. Your fall color blog did this.

      Kat – was it only that post where the photos were real big? On what device were you viewing the blog? Thanks so much for the kind words by the way.
