I chose them based mostly on what drew traffic, but nothing official. I just went through the archives and found posts that were well received. Shivanand,

The popular posts section isn't using a plugin, it's manually entered into the sidebar. I chose to do it this way rather than using a plugin because it gives me full control over what shows up there.

Let me try. I would also suggest a better banner/header. I also updated my site's theme recently and used a blue banner with a bright steel gray logo. (Colors stolen from the photoshop cs3 startup flash screen). Take a look and get inspired all you can. (the site's still broken in IE6 and I do not plan to fix it anytime soon - obviously for lack of time). I'm very pleased by your content and user focused approach. The site is perfectly usable. I came from your main blog and took all the time to read through the posts and comments in a single sitting. Also subscribed. The content has more of a feel to it like the apple site (to quite an extent). FYI - i just realised my site's theme matches your theme to a large extent (except for the content which is better here :) Which plugin do you use to feature the popular posts in the sidebar? It's a show stealer. I’m a web developer and that means some design too. Let me try.

James, No need to apologize. I asked for feedback and I'd rather have honesty than have you say you liked it when you really didn't. On the subject of comment alignment, yes, something is not right. I'll have to look into that. Thanks. About the header, I did experiment a little bit with some things that would be a bit more involved, but nothing I tried looked quite right with the rest of the theme as a whole. When I have some time I will experiment some more. Thanks for the opinions, I appreciate it. Kevin, Thanks, I'm glad you've been enjoying the content. Hopefully that will continue.

The posts here have been really good recently and I'm sure this will help the blog reach a new audience. The new theme is looking good Steven.
