In my browser at half width (840px) the new layout forces horizontal scroll. I'm used to shrinking text when this occurs, but for a blog it's annoying because the content itself isn't that wide. The vertical bar on the left is unnecessary, and the other stories bar on the right could easily become narrower. The old Svbtle layout fits perfectly at this width and is very readable.
