Default WindowsTalk (One Last Time)!

Please look over the beautiful customized WP theme I got from Coseo Designs and let me know what you think, folks.

I was really liking the green one, but this one is just as well done...Knowing Coseo the past few months, I am not surprised... My only thing is that I know he uses a very wide layout which I have to scroll to see...I understand his method, but it's hard for me to believe that many people view these things in such a wide format? (I use a 1024x768 resolution)

Being an old AF guy, the blue appeals to me Although I really liked the green one as you suggested the blue theme is much easier on the eyes, even for my old ones, lol! I think the main green body on the other one was just as pleasing, but it may have been the darker green logo that was distracting a bit.

PS: Almost forgot, lol!!! The best feature is that the text is big enough for us old farts to see

The rounded corners and drop shadows give it a sort of 3d touch, which I really like.

A really neat feature is how the titles of each blog article, change color or light up as you mouse over them...Nice!

My only two drawbacks if any, are that I don't like having to scroll to see the width, and I think the length is about one and a half blog entries too long...With that said, I give it an A

PS: Almost forgot...The text is large, so us old guys and gals can read the doggone thing...Nice touch!!

I normally design in a 1000 pixel size as to accommodate 99% of the resolutions. This one is set to a 1200pxl as per request.

Thanks Sarge..I cut the amount of posts down to 4; the related posts widget holds eight entries, so that should suffice.
Yes, I wanted the font large enough for all to see! LOL
Don't know what to say about your screen rez...
According to Google analytics, only 20% of my visitors are using the same rez as you; +55% are using either 1680x1050, 1280x800, 1280x1024 or 1440x900.

Even @ 1280X768, my site is not wider than my window in FF, Chrome or IE8 on my 15" laptop display. There is about 1/4" on both sides, no horizontal scroll bar appearing.
Perhaps due it being a 'widescreen' display?

that is cause you are at 1280 and it is a 1200 wide template Mac is running at 1024 and can't fit all the pixels on the screen hence the scrolling from side to side. My stats are put in wrong and I will correct them those are actually for 1024 not 1280.

My bad; I misread the numbers.
Naturally, it would display just fine at 1280!
