I do web design from time to time, and conceptually I like to take advantage of what makes the web great: horizontal network hierarchies. This means I try to make pages where you can access all information from one easy "terminal."
As you can see in the full scale image (linked below), the text is slightly smaller, corrected the line spacing, and it still fits the same number of characters as the current new 3.0 setup. The total pixel dimms are 785x550, for 800x600 cavemen... (sorry, just kidding).
For DailyKos 3.0, I was hoping that one could have on "updateable" box and then the two "diary" boxes on the side always visible. (no html frames, these are just "windows")
Hey... I'm not one to bash anyone's design. And I figure if you're gonna bitch, you'd better have some ideas of your own and be able to explain em... so here's a jpeg snapshot of what I'd love my DailyKos to look like!
And here's the page at at full size.
