Is that right? It has inspired me to declutter my blog. I’m guessing that this theme is exclusively yours and not free or publicly available. Is that right? It has inspired me to declutter my blog.

So, when you left, I just looked at what you were dabbling into, found gdgt to be a great idea (if implemented efficiently). Been following you on twitter just recently. As per the design, I thought the old design was or atleast the header was inspired by Bioshock's art-style! ( forgive me!, I'm an over-zealous gamer ). But the new design is great, being a minimalistic myself, I totally dig it, its' awesomeness personified ! twt: aMjAZzz I’ve been a huge Engadget fan since circa 2005 !

All the anomalies you're seeing are likely due to its notorious lack of standards compliance. Sorry Pat — not supporting IE6 in any current or future projects/sites.

Also, your title image background is tan-colored instead of transparent, which I assume it's supposed to be. These are probably both a function of IE6, which I know has a bug with transparent backgrounds on png's. (damn-you, enterprise machines...) so take it FWIW. Great job on the design!
