I liked the general style of thisthe previous design (assume past tense from here - Ed: 24 Feb 06) - it's clean and curvy, and a big step forward from what went before. I'm not entirely convinced about the layout though. It doesn't quite fit on my laptop screen (maybe because you've forgotten how the box model works - Ed), and it doesn't quite feel solid and rational enough.

So I'm rebuilding the layout from scratch, and I'm using a very smart development technique for when you're using a fixed vertical grid - Khoi Vinh’s idea of using an image of the grid as a background image while you're developing.

So now I'm most of the way there with the updated layout - I still wanted to use Golden Sections as the basis, so it's an irregular grid that's more like a log-log scale. I've not yet applied the presentation styling, but have a look and see how it's going:

Hmmm - looking at it now, I realise that I should have set the grid up so that Flickr images would fit nicely onto columns. Not that the image resizing that Flickr does is particularly reliable for arbitrary sized originals...
