My monitor has a resolution of 1680 x 1050, but I browse the web in a window sized for 1024. It is just a simple web standard, and making the vast majority of your user's scroll is just absolutely annoying, especially considering there is no actual function for the scrolling.

Even CRTs can rock 1280. We're living in the future, bump your resolution up past 1024. Even CRTs can rock 1280.

That way you can slap us in the face with ads on both sides. With the other stuff way over on the far right, my eye doesn't even come close to seeing that. As I read this post, and you mentioned stuff about buying dvds on amazon, I didn't even realize that was there. I too vote for the middle blog.

Hope you're making buckets of cash through more ads, JD (sadly unlikely, unless they are miniature buckets)! BTW, I clicked on the "new to the site" thing which I'd never noticed before and stumbled upon those Season vs. Season evaluations, which are pretty cool. I don't fault you for stopping them, though, that must've been really time consuming. I like the new layout.

I didn't change it so all the images would still fit.<br /><br /><br />The ads should be contextual. They're new so give Google a few days to index my content and serve up better ads.

With the margins it's less than half the page. I don't mind ads, just wish they were to awesome things not something that sounds like a scam. I don't mind the blog on the left, but it's a bit narrow.

I like that you're trying to make a little cash off this site. You put a lot into it, so you may as we get something in return. No one likes to work for free.

I like the new CSS style more that the original plain white background. Another vote for moving the blog section back to the middle and the sidebar with the cast photo over to the left.

I understand the website has to make some money to cover domain and hosting costs.
