Extra pairs of helpful eyes are great. I shortened the two websites as you suggested. The right-aligned dollar signs is a good suggestion. The $ I have now was a little more straightforward to implement, so once I get more comfortable with the theme I may give your idea a try. J MacKenzie, yeah I liked the blue as well -- if the green doesn't wear well I may play with the colors to blueify them. (Though I'll ask my wife to help -- I'm just about color blind!)

It might look nice if you move the dollar sign in the headers to the right side, rather than having your text running over it. In fact, a right-justified triple dollar sign ($$$) might look pretty cool.

I'm overly anal about things, so take this with a grain of salt, but I would modify the titles slighty, as follows: K's Financial Progress Johnny Miser's Blog The others are okay. It looks like anything as short as (or shorter than) Consumerism Commentary fits without line-wrapping. But some of your link titles are still line-wrapping (at least on my setup they are).

I was looking for something besides the default for a while, and ran across the "SubLIMEnal" theme. Out of the box it was pretty good. I darkened the title colors a little bit. They could've stood a little toning down. Also I made the sidebar a little wider. Did it fix the subscribe problem on your end? Thanks again for the suggestions. Any others please holler.

I would try to tone down the color just a touch (but that's just me). Also, on my browser (FireFox/Mac) the subscribe box is just a bit too wide for the sidebar (it sticks out by a few pixels on the right), and a number of your links wrap at the end of the line which makes the link list look a bit messay. May you could make your sidebar bit wider? (Also, you might consider shortening some of the names of the links). Overall, though, I like it.
