The front page has gone through a mini two-day redesign. The interesting thing about the redesign is that I went through with it after consulting my google clicks overlay map and other statistics that Google Analytics provides.
Most people almost never clicked on my artworks, so out it goes. Also the contact form served only as a honeypot for all spammers, so it disappears as well. My old anti-spam measure is back in, till I figure out a more effective contact form.
Meanwhile, kind folks at Blog Design Blog and sixrevisions have respectively listed my websites under 30 Must See Comment Designs for Web Designers and 35 Beautiful Bright, Colorful Web Designs. A big hug and thanks for both of them!
I also started a store at Etsy. Right now only my Koi Painting is for sale, but hoping to add more items within the next two months.
Whew! My GTD training is finally bearing fruit. This is the shortest and intensive redesign I have done ever!
Update: Inspiredology has also linked to Nimbupani Designs as one of the websites "that I thought expressed and used the colour blue in an attractive interesting way to convey their message and/or feel of their brand" Thanks n Hugs!

Colour me impressed that you actually can grok Google Analytics - I am yet to really get any value from running it on my blog.
I wonder if the header pattern now looks too big with just 3 items.. completely an individual thing, feel free to ignore.
I use the "Secure & Accessible PHP Contact Form 2.0" (quite a mouthful eh?) and haven't had any problems. Here's a link - http://green-beast.com/blog/?page_id=71

Like Balaji, I too think the header looks a tad empty. And, again like Balaji, it might be a subjective call you'd want to throw out the window.

Balaji, Ravages,
Interesting thing is the header is the same :) only the colors used are switched. I think now there is more space since the "art" section is gone and so it feels like there is a LOT of space. I will take that into account.
