Wider is better.

Didn’t that use to be Pontiac’s saying?

Ryan, my first thought also was that the two sidebars side by side looked weird. However, that is a good way to accommodate people that either have a low resolution or do not run apps full screen like myself. However, I do run at 1280 x 1024. Once I get my widescreen monitor, I will run apps sized down width wise.

I’m going to give constructive criticism in that the site having two sidebars on the right side seems kind of strange looking to me. I liked it with one sidebar on each side.

If it were me, I’d merge the sidebars into one that goes farther down the page instead or redesign the sidebars content and increase the width of your blogging post area as well.

I agree should be one side bar that goes down the side. Having the second side bar is just too odd looking and makes the page too busy at the top.

Personally, I like it. Assuming the weekly poll will go to the left of the Syndicate box, it will look very nice. Wider is better.

Yep, that is exactly where we were planning on putting the weekly poll. We’re just waiting on Zoho to finish a problem with the Internet Explorer 7 browser.

We definitely love to hear everyone’s opinion. There are some other things that we would like to add to the sidebar in the future which is another reason that we wanted to extend it. I’ve also been pondering creating a “fluid” site where it would adjust to the width of your browser.

I hope my meager opinion helps!
