Why don't we just revoke (actually, reverse) Colman's first comment that this is not about the graphic design? There's a lot of untapped talent here.

Re: Random site redesign thoughts (4.00 / 3)

I like the graphic design the colour scheme. It's simple, does the job, and it's free of clutter.

I hate most recent web site design with a passion, because it's so blatant and intrusive. I think the best design you can have is design you don't notice at all, and ET wins big on that score.

It's better than dKos and the Oil Drum, because the fixed width of dKos is annoying, and the Oil Drum looks too big and gawky in comparison.

See? That's just what I meant.

Keep it simple.

Doing a quick scan of the Front Page there are 3 blocks of information:

Front Page Diaries
User Diaries - Recommended, Debate, Recent
Banner - Navagation Aids

You can add two more blocks before the site will start to create information overload for the new or casual user.
