Changing the look of my Blog

So I changed the theme (i.e. design/look) of the blog. Originally I went with the default look, with was a simple, white-background Contempo. While simple enough, I was never too fond of the drop down Main Menus and the body of the blog being dead centre of the design. This is how it used to look with that theme:

I decided to change it to the green-ish looking Simple theme. I do prefer this theme as, instead of having a drop down for the main menu, all of that is now located on the side bar. My preference for that is that I can quickly glance to the side to see what else a blog has to offer, instead of making a conscious effort of clicking on the drop down menu. This is how it looks like in the new theme.

Next will be to re-arrange a few things on the side menu. I'm not too fond of having labels too close to the top, personally.
