After talking to Jerald to find out why the site "blows"... (don't you love generic feedback like that? Like the phone call I recieved one time saying "My computer won't work".... Okay, and?) the biggest gripes were lack of theme options and font size. 
 
For the font size, I'm hoping to just do a quickie little javascript doohickey that will enlarge the font. Maybe this weekend. That was already planned. As for the lack of theme options, there's been a few people to complain about that. My answer to that is that, while it is nice to have options, most sites do not and what about them? Following in that train of thought, it's much more difficult to maintain multiple themes simultaneously. Not all themes have the same HTML or CSS structure. Some themes, such as the current one, use customized themes for pages that might not be there in all themes, because...well, they are custom. From an administrative point of view, that double, triples and maybe quadruples the difficulty in maintaining consistency in the blog. 
 
So that said, I don't think I will be doing multiple themes anytime soon. Sorry. :)

looks like I'll only be reading via RSS from now on. Dude, the theme really blows.

I made the line-height 1.75 instead of 1.5 like I had after the mod I made for Vinnie. White space works wonders, eh?

Actually that is better for some odd reason. So you do listen.

I don't like the font.

Yep, I like. Narrowness is fine. Line-height's better than earlier today. 
 
Well done mate!

The narrowness alone doesn't really bother me, but the line-height does. Try increasing it for easier reading :)

No...I think I got the quote right the first time. ;)

You quote me...The correct statement was this: 
 
"Dude I like the old theme". "This one sucks like you do." 
 
I guess it will have to grow on those of us who visit your site but if it makes you happy then that's cool with me. 
 
Doesn't change the fact that you still suck. Hope you are feeling better.
