I think the new layout is wonderful.
The cool picture makes me think of The “Living Water” which is your solid foundation.
Of course, for me, your blog is like a spring which provides refreshing nourishment helping to releive that parched feeling we all experience from time to time.
Praise God! His Spirit is the Living Waters we want overflowing in our lives and your blog is one of His tributaries!!
I liked the old one better. Liked the personality of the header. Sounds like you had four columns before and now three. Three are ok. I personally like two, but I don’t have as much good content as you! Depends on the focus of your site. If its a webpage with lots of stuff, three works. If the focus is blogs, the wider the blog part the better for reading.
Oh… and Kenya is amazing. One of the hardest but wonderful things I’ve ever done. I’d love to go back one of these days.
anything you do is wonderful because I’m your momma. ( 🙂
however…….
I really like the photo on the other layout. Maybe what you need is just a little tweaking….. a new photo/ a new font??? let’s look at it together when I get there

looks good on my iPhone!
I like the new layout. It is easier for me (and my ADD) to read and take in. The colors are very soothing to me.
LOVE YOU!!!
I like the colors, but I think the main reason people come to blogs (the posts) are too marginalized…
the picture makes me want to be wherever that is because it’s a lot prettier than my windowless office! 🙂
Well after going through the initial shock of thinking your site was hacked :-p
Pretty much agree with all the other commenters
IMHO
4 columns is a bit much
Maybe 3 columns with a bigger one of the actual blog
Colors work well very Summery/Caribbeanish
I like the old style better… it went straight to the meat – BLOGS! I like the colors/pictures here just as much, but the previous layout was better.
jaders 🙂

I love the new picture, and this format, can’t really remember the one you transitioned to but I think you came back to this. Love your blog!
