I like your use of whitespace here. Very nicely done. (I like the permissions to play with colors too!)

LOL That is DEFINITELY nuclear green!! The layout is really nice, even though that shade of green scars my retinas.

This is very nice... simple, clean design, easily readable by some, easily altered if not. Wonderful job!

bold colors are hard to handle... nicely done!

not bad.... not bad at all. Most "patriotic" themes you see are bright, loud and downright tacky. You manage to accomplish red, white and blue without looking like a tourist.

LOL you warned us, Nocto. B-) It *IS* bright. Nice layout though.

oooooooooooooooohhh.... beautiful. and a place for a menu bar, too... (I have a scrolling menu script that would look nice there... *schemeschemescheme*)

ooooooooooooooooooh.... i love this! very smart!

simple, and a nice CSS layout. I bet you could even implement a nice subtle background with this one. Versitility is a BIG plus.

very nice! i like the apparent flexibility. I agree with thinbytes: the blog is about the writing!
