The new CHotR layout: Hot or Not?

The Advoc8te has been tinkering for months for a new look to CHotR.  I can't stay with the same layout too long or I get bored.  Some options have been more successful than others (yes I recall the massive complaints with the green background), you try updating a blog six or seven times a day and see how you like looking at the same layout.

So The Advoc8te is seeking input and comments on the current layout.  Like it? Hate it? Or have I so dazzled you with my witty prose and "Rants of the  Day" that sidebar layout is the least of your concerns?
