Infact it would be great if there were some sort of guidelines (adblock checklist if I may call it so) which marketers can follow and pass adblock if this option is on.

fribblerzon Try Blogger's New Interface

An option to select from 2 settings would be better , like Gmail's new themes - dense/regular , although dense is still too spaced when compared to the default theme at the moment .

All the design changes since the launch of G+ could use some decrease in padding imo . In netbooks the real content will start halfway across the screen - lot of unnecessary scrolling, looks good though .
