The new design looks amazing, I love the new logo and the general look of the site very slick :)
Darin
well done.
one issue spotted - when you click on any of the names on the live milkers div, you get a 404 error, but besides that, as i said above, well done...
also just spotted below the Submit Comment button the checkbox with no detail as to what it is, i presume its subscribe to comments but no harm in putting that there.
Very interesting theme though, very unique.
a few other issues as others mentioned above, site could be optimised a lot better for speed increases, a few font tweaks and still some javascript errors showing, but i'm sure only teething problems to be expected, all will be well and still looking super cool soon...
1. You've misspelled John Chow's name (Joh Chow). Maybe that's on purpose though. :twisted:
2. I agree that the fonts in the sidebar look a little off. Maybe change it to be the same as the "buy me milk" text or at least increase the spacing between lines.
3. The car in the comment box makes it slightly hard to see what you are typing. It's a nice touch, but maybe take the opacity down a bit.
4. I am assuming that the check box below the submit button is for new comment notifications. The reason I am assuming is because I don't see any text next to it.
Like I said, these are nit picky things. I love the new design and I'll admit, I'm a little jealous.
But where is the reply to comment? you remove it on purpose?
I for one LOVE IT and I can view in IE.....YEEEHAAW!!
The header is awesome:)
Regarding the sidebar font size, sometimes bigger is better. But all suggestions will be taken into consideration.
As always, there will be a few bugs till it nears perfection.
Amazing work from SOSFactory, as per usual.
New themes seem to always draw more commentators =]
One of the best designs I have ever seen!
I bet you're exhausted. :smile:

Great look overall.
But I hate to say it, I don't really care for the cartoon thing. I thought the cows were way more cool....kinda like sophisticated silliness and cool design.
The cartoon to me just says bumpkin to me which doesn't seem to fit with your great content. So I realize you must have worked hard on this, but I wanted to give you honest feedback.
The cartoon is well done. I just don't think it's right for your blog.
Awesome is one word that best describes it. So far, this is the best theme makeover that I've come across, I'm sure this is will be very difficult to beat. Looks very Web 2.0 and very pleasing.
Just a few things:
1. The font on the sidebar looks fine to me, maybe you've already fixed it?
2. The car in this comment box could be moved further down so as to fit in the corner - looks rather abandoned now :(
3. The checkbox below the Submit Comment button still looks lonely without the text.
4. When we highlight text in the comment as we type, it just turns into a milder colour, doesn't really give us the feeling that it is highlighted.
5. The text input to enter our email for subscribing looks more like a button to me, maybe you could tone the opacity down a bit?
They're just my personal opinion though!
Again, the theme looks amazing!
Do you really need two navigation bars?
The background color is a little drab.
Do you really drive a car like that?
I miss the old cows too.
A lot of your comments don't make any sense now without the threaded comments. There's no way to know who you're talking to on the old posts.
hope this blog will give moore interesting writing...
I like your cartoon.. what's his name??? don't want to do some contest???
Really, it looks great. Especially the header.
I also like this blog does not resemble JohnChows one so much, but i'm wondering what happend to the cows in the header :)
:mrgreen:
Can you tell how much it cost??
Heads up! Your subscription box could do with a little makeover. You know this web 2.0 AJAX trick that auto-clears a subscription form when clicked saving the user from having to clear an input box manually. I had to do just that i.e manually clear the "Subscribe" message manually to subscribe. I use Firefox 2.0.
I think the whole theme looks great, I just would change the green background to white and I would delete the red border in the box. You would save lot of space in margings.
Cheers.

Designers (or rich bloggers) consider sponsoring a contest with an awesome blog redesign as the prize ;). I know I would love to win that and sure most others would as well!
Maybe this is Mr. Cow's new venture, made his own design and now using this as a tool to start up his own design place....
anyone with thoughts? (maybe i'm way off LoL)
