This is not a bad design at all, but the previous design was much easier for my eyes to follow. I'd prefer a smaller right-side column to allow a wider content area. Also, I'd recommend moving the site search out of the accordion. Makes it a lot easier to use the search feature when doing multiple searches or trying to narrow down a search.

I would agree that sidebar is too wide. I like the accordion and the footer, very nice! I like it, although I liked more the blue color in header. I would agree that sidebar is too wide.

That is one of the only advantages of using them. It gives the advertiser pagerank. Their USP (Unique Selling Proposition) is, "Improve your traffic and search engine rankings. Only TLA can deliver an ad that does both." Obivously Nofollow takes this away from advertisers.I was under the impression that it was against the terms to add nofollow to TLA links. With that in mind Google has been known to punish websites that use TLA. You can read more about that on Matt Cutts website, (google employee).I would either get rid of them completely, or understand the risk and leave the nofollow.

Gray is the new colorful!I would also nofollow the sponsors, I think TLA has that option. It is rumored that Google has their own "spy" accounts over there and do some manual research in terms of paid Pagerank passing, so better put them to nofollow... IMO.And why nofollow the Related Posts links? I would absolutely put them to do-follow.The accordion I like also, maybe you could add a simple arrow icon or so to the bar titles to indicate that they are expandable.All in all, I really like it a lot.

I really like the comments formatting.I really like the 50% but is could be tough for code view. For code view, you may want to have a link to convert the div to absolute so it can be full width (overlay the accordian). I hate horizontal scroll on those.I also didnt know the accordian was an accordian. You may want to point out / highlight that you can click to see more. I also would rather see all of the items expanded at once when entering the site.One last thing, I wish there were more articles per page- say 5 or ten so I could scan the categories easier.

I found it a lot easier to find stuff on the old site and the content seemed to be more prominant. The adds and bookmarking links are the overall eye tracking and what pulls me into looking at the site, previously it was the content.This type of design seems to be getting quite popular but im not sure its a useability improvement, although it is clean I just prefer the older design :) Like evil said above, maybe try to squeeze more of that side column.Paul Im sure it will grow on me but I prefer the older design.
