Your new blog would do good with a new logo, since the current logo looks a bit outdated with the plastic bevelled icon and straight reflection. Also, the logo banner would look better without the URL caption text above the logo itself.
On the layout of page, it looks good with the three column layout, although I find the continous scrolling widgets on the left side both annoying and useless. The right column, on the other hand. is nicely done, with the subscription form nicely placed at the top with the author biography. I also found the Blog stats at the bottom of the right column unnecessary and a waste of space, in that it merely forces the user to scroll more in order to reach the footer.
Overall, a good effort, but it still needs a lot of work to get up to the standard of other more prominent blogs.
