Comments on: Playing with the theme The theme seems to keep changing (perhaps depending on whether I'm logged in our not???). Basically it keeps flipping from serif to sans-serif font. I prefer the original serif font by the way. I agree with other saying that the tags seem unnecessary and noisy. Also when long titles wrap they look very odd. What about exploring other side bar colours besides brown? I still find the featured author thing a bit large and it always loads last on the page which is jarring as it pushes everything down.

Thirding that I liked seeing how many comments there are. I'd also say ditch the tags. It's a big, long, ugly, worthless string between the author name and the article name. Horribly unimportant but the second thing you read for each post. I liked the change quite a bit. Very clean and sharp. Thirding that I liked seeing how many comments there are.

There seems to be no way to tell how many comments an article has, and comments also seem to take quite a long time to load on article pages now too. I think something like a dynamic category that would hold todays articles aswell as one for yesterdays articles would be useful.
