Seeking new theme for my blog

No, I’m not looking for someone to create a new theme for me. I am looking to do a complete makeover of my site and with that am looking for new theme ideas.

The site is a technical blog, using lots of ‘code samples’ with the ‘sourcecode’ tags. It can be see at edstevensdba.wordpress.com, and is using the “reddle” theme.

I rather like the overall layout of that theme, but there are a couple of items that I’d like to improve on.

First, the sidebar takes up way too much real estate – it’s TOO wide, forcing most of my ‘sourcecode’ content to end up needing to scroll horizontally. If the sidebar were just a bit narrower, this would not be an issue.

Second, because of my heavy reliance on the ‘sourcecode’ tag, I have to work in text mode a lot, then constantly flipping between text and visual or text and ‘view post’. A theme that incorporates sourcecode would be really helpful.

I am willing to purchase a theme, so am not limited to the free ones.

I don’t need (or even want) a lot of ‘fru-fru’ for photos, media, etc. The blog is targeted to geeks who are more interested in “where’s the beef?”

All suggestions welcome.
