Redesign "according to the mind"

A little disclaimer for amateurs (and professionals) of “artistic minus”:
I write in my habrablog, do not advertise anything, do not inflate and do not make noise.
I am interested in (and needed) the sane opinions of habra people, prudent and professionally savvy IT people, “power users”. If you have nothing to advise, just pass by; I configured the cat so as to occupy a minimum of screen space.
Many thanks for your understanding and support!

The wonderful WordPress theme that I used from the day the design-freak appeared , became “small and cramped” to the project, like children's pants .

Conclusions made during use :

1. Two-way threads - “ good ”. Especially if you do not take into account ad units in the design and layout of the appearance.

2. Without a cap - " cold ." He removed the cap to isolate himself from the other " Vertigoniferous ", as a result he received the topic clean, but rather faceless.

3. The functionality of the footer is a pretty dubious thing . There is a great temptation to dump there the things that are needed only by those who are very much seeking (for example, a blogroll like Denis ), but you should not give in to it. Such things need to either be placed on the mind, or completely removed.

4. Button " hot-feed subscription " on the spot , but the counter - no. Let's leave the fact that in the new design (! Spoiler!) They will turn into something more fun . It’s just that the counter catches my eye, and the fact that certain “ restless souls ” add to me stupidly, along with sweetheart porn sites, and a day later also stupidly remove them, is annoying to an itch.

5. White background is the only correct solution for the “ picture + text ” blog. Trite, but true.

6. The strips in the sidebar are “ evil ”. Especially wired into the style: "link in the sidebar." Interfere, "spoil the song."

Futuristic notes :

1. There will be a hat . Upgradeable. (As an option - updated frequently.)

2. Widgets , developed in collaboration with Anton Lobovkin , will settle in the sidebar .

3. All designer and half-design items will be summed up and displayed with a special “ preview ticker ”. (People who have come to look at the "pictures" need not stray among the flocks of "letters."

4. Registration of users will open . Nothing binding. Giving the right to avatars , as well as reviews of user projects (without hubbing).

5. It will be screwed up . To make life easier for Zhezheists and those who joined.

6. A few fun-useful options will open , about the essence of which - later.

7. Free item . It is interesting to listen to your suggestions in the comments. Glad usability ideas and complaints.
