Thoughts about the new design

I have been doing some brainstorming on what the new design would look like.  I am actually going to draw out the look before i sit down and build on my computer.  My main focus is simplicity, thats how I have always been with things.  That is probably on my desktop I currently have 4 items and the dock holds 5 apps, the downloads stack, and the trash.  Looking for some ideas I remembered some javascript libraries.  After realizing that it would be possible to implement all of the ones I came across I stepped back and asked myself does it need all of this?  The short answer was no, I am not making a social content site or something that would require a lot of effects / ajax.  This is just my blog.  From that point on I realized the javascript that I do implement should be there just to enhance the user experience and not to force people with browsers that do not support javascript to get a reduced quality site.  What I am thinking is that if your browser does support javascript you would have a more compact / dynamic site in some areas.  If you do not have javascript then the content will be exactly the same but the site might be not as compact or some areas not as dynamic, but I am going to try and not ruin your user experience.  I do not want to take away from the content because I hope that is the reason that you are here.
