I have been wondering about this the last few days, specifically, do you think it is better to have the navigation on the left or right hand side of the main blog posts?

Im thinking on the left hand side *might* be more susceptible to getting good listings because those links would appear higher up in the HTML page as oppose to being lower in the HTML if on the right hand side of the main post.

Your thoughts, do you think the actual layout of a blog can have an effect on how well it ranks in the SERPs?
