Although I still have a few things left to work on, the new site is up and running.
JakeBouma.com 2.75 (named so because of Shawn's comment) is a three column masterpiece. The thinner middle column - which contains all the posts - is easier to read, and the two outer columns are capable of holding more information that most people probably don't even care about (ex: what books I am reading).
My personal favorite new feature is the new image header. I will be able to change it per mood or season or whatever. I chose to inagurate the new design with a header that features a Chi Rho symbol from Varlaam monastery in Meteora, Greece. I took that picture just over one year ago, on January 11, 2005.
I won't go in to detail about how picky I can be with the design, but just know that it is pretty ridiculous. Take a look around and let me know what you think. At least this time I didn't delete the whole thing.

all i have to say is: it’s about time. gosh i had to check your website like every 6 seconds to see if it was ready yet. i like it though. i’m assuming once you finish the podcast you’ll be moving on to the intern song? ;)
Hey…2.75 huh? It looks more like a 2.7AWESOME to me…but who am I to judge?
looks good bouma…
the art critic in me says i’d rather see the author information on the left, and the calendar on the right–i’m not sure how it effects the information layout in the trickledown, but it has something to do with pertinent information and the way the eye reads naturally left to right, coupled with a predisposition to computer clocks/calendars in the upper/lower right of the screen. other than that, beautiful.
It was good to see the return of friday linkfest this week too.
