"That's the shiznit, son"

So what do all you InstantReaders think of the new look? Does it work on your machines? I experimented with a few things, and:
(a) got rid of the red border, which makes the page feel more free and accessible.
(b) justified the body text to suit my anal-retentive needs.
(c) added a marquee illustration, courtesy of Sports Illustrated, and a caption.
(d) got rid of "The Undisclosed Location" as a subtitle. It was funny, but not meaningful enough. It also took up too much initial-view space. I don't like when you can only see one post when the page opens.
(e) made the title text match the referee theme.
(f) aligned the menu to the left, creating more space between links and posts, and bringing out the blue of the link bar.
(g) added a postscript note at the bottom explaining the title. Useful to new readers and those who think I'm just another Glenn Reynolds wannabee.
Just remember although the packaging may have changed, you'll still get the same incisive news and analysis that you've become accustomed to at InstantReplay.
