The results are in! Over 2 weeks ago, I have asked you, my readers, who you think had the better blog redesign between John Chow dot Com and ProBlogger. Although I wrote the article on August 24, I have only added the poll survey sometime in September. I could have gotten more reader votes but I made the mistake off putting the poll up too late. So instead of just putting up the results of the poll, I’ll also add some of your comments!
As you can see, ProBlogger has topped John Chow dot Com by 10 votes, and 7 said they liked both blog designs. Why did most people like ProBlogger’s new design better? Well, here are some of your comments.

I really don’t like John Chows site redesign. I hated the old one and I hate the new one just as much, I think he needs to stop putting expensive cars in his header, his blog doesn’t talk about cars so just get rid of it. ProBlogger on the other hand look great, the new logo is awesome and the layout is great, I love how the comments look.

I have to say John’s design is great (Nate did an awesome job on this one, and also on the new Shoemoney) but I prefer Darren’s design, it innovates more, looks more like a “portal” than “another blog”, makes it stand out from the crowd more.

I think they’re both better than they were but I prefer ProBlogger’s new look - with JC now you have to scroll down now past that car image etc to read the content.

Definitely ProBlogger has done a much better job. I haven’t been to Chow’s blog since the redesign but from your screenshot, it looks quite cluttered and unsightly.
Well, it seems like most people liked ProBlogger better because it was cleaner and better organized. I agree that John Chow’s site has so much ads that it takes over his blog. And what’s up with the car headers?!
By the way, the survey widget is still going to be kept active, but the poll and results ended today. You can also check out what others have said in the article. Thanks for the votes everyone! I am going to have another poll soon (and a blog contest!) so make sure to check back on that.

I like ProBlogger better but I love his past design.
