Site Update: Wider content space

I always think that my content width is a little narrow, so I decided to remove the original space that occupied by the date, and add the date together with the content to make full use of the space (original Illacrimo template). Another thing I changed is I shrink the original 1000px wide of webpage to 980px, to cater the 1024*768 user.

So, what do you think, better or worse? Personally i feel is better, but I need your input, kindly cast your vote below, thanks!
