Disclaimer: I'm not a web UI designer (QA is what I do for
living), but you want constructive feedback, so I'll say what I
feel like and what I would do first if it was my page.
I haven't seen the old one, but this one looks OK to me, except
that the fonts are about 2x as big as should be. For example,
the main title in header does not even fit my screen
(1280x800), it cuts at "Prog...".
Ironically, while sometimes I do use "zoom in" feature on
various pages from time to time, on your page I actually had to
zoom out to 50% :)
What I'd do in CSS would be leave out the `body { font-size:
25px }` part, use `em` unit for most sizes on the page. Also
I'd consider adding some margins, at least on sides. It's not
the best reading experience for everyone to use the full width
of the medium (monitor): for example it's more likely to
interfere wit the background (read: the real outer world), and
also need to bounce from left to right puts additional stress
on eyes as well as additional effort just to flip to the
(correct) next line. (That's why magazines use columns.)
(Just look at any nicely designed page, www or real page, they
almost always have fairly wide margins. Header/footer on www
can be exceptions since they are marginal. The mentioned
mojolicio.us is really a very nice example.)
Thanks,
aL.
