Is change always good?

Stylistically, the changes are minor. Move the narrow column from left to right, make it wider. But why? What do you place in that wide column on the right? I can see the networking strip being new and a new functionality. For some, it will be important, good.

There is "clean clutter" on the site. Everything looks clean, light, nimble, but yet cluttered. Take another look.

The load speed of content is totally unacceptable.

I see that you are following Roger Black style but not as boldly as he dared to use. You cannot go wrong with white, black, and red (I am paraphrasing him) but he would not approve of this design.

Some navigation links, like "Next/Previous" appear in the middle of the page and on top of text content, most annoying.

Did I mention that the speed is unacceptable?
