Switched to 2 Column
ADVERTISEMENTSWhen designing the new theme, I had in mind a fast loading and neat looking design. After completing the theme, the site still looked cluttered to me and I figured out that the best way to make the site look neater was to switch to 2 columns 
So I removed the right sidebar and I hope my site now looks much neater and fast loading than before. Let me know if you liked it.

actually after customizing your theme and publish it i thought that i should make it 2 column since i`m new in blogging and i don’t have a lot of sections(popular post..etc)
so i`m thinking of make a new light version (maybe depending on classic theme which is only 25KB!)
anyway i think your blog is faster now and still has the same attractive look..but cant u change the color of the feedburner counter or changing its place?
good luck.

Although it is less cluttered but 3 column was also not bad, I did not find any difference in speed of loading the page.

I like 3 column design more compared to this 2 column design. But, it is true that it loads faster.

No. For a site like yours 2 column theme is better!
