The typography is excellent [at least in a Mac] and the style clean and easy to read. Only caveat is to see still the titles below the posts .. I will always find it confusing ... but original. By the way, the color palette of your blog looks now quite similar to mine, I do like it :-) Miguel exposurecompensation.com Ashley,

It looks like you are at 1.8em or 2em. A line height of 1.5em would look better and be easier to read. The double spacing effect is too jarring to the eye.

I keep my browser window relatively narrow. When I first saw the new design last night, I thought there was a formatting issue, as the text was bumped up right against the edge of the window. You might want to change the body text to Georgia or Times New Roman. Also, I haven't tried it in IE, but according to <a href="http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/index.php" rel="nofollow">IE Renderer</a>, the dates are cut off in Internet Explorer, including v7. Having said all that, I like it. I really do. You seem to be improving as a designer. I suggest adding margins to the sides. I keep my browser window relatively narrow.

It’s so typographically sound and the date formatting is especially sweet. The screen shot from a few weeks ago did not do it justice. I think the greatest feat about this design is that it doesn’t stray too far away from the original design so there's no confusion. Once again, Great work Ashley!

I love the Hoefler Text type (win users...time to switch), and practically all you implemented. To eliminate the border on images you can try to create a img class in CSS with border: none ?

I’ve been waiting for it to go live for some time. The typography is smooth, the elements clear and crisp, and it just flows and feels good. There’s a nice balance with white space that makes it feel like I’m immersed in the content, but the environment still remains minimalist. Nice work. Ian Ashley,
