Furthermore, research shows (http://www.useit.com/alertbox/20000109.html) that users don't use navbars. I personally conclude that the following suffice for navigation within a simple site (such as a blog): search logo/text top right linking to the home page breadcrumb and, most importantly links within content, e.g. a link to a similar article or a complete list of articles (which have far more relevance to a user than a universal navbar). Do users click the navbar links on this site. I haven't - I refered to your list of recent articles. As an experiment, try it on your site. It's a bit of a leap, but it works well because breadcrumbs invite readers into reading more relevant content.
