...but I was wondering if some of you could take a moment and throw me some feedback about a redesign that I'm just moments away from declaring complete.
Feel free to critique away, I can handle it. And, thanks in advance, I can always count on you guys for helpful, constructive criticism.

I love the design. I think my only complaint is that there are a lot of posts on the main page. I would bring it down to 3 or 4. But that is personal preference.
Great work.

That's actually REALLY cool... I'd personally knock the main font size down a tad but overall that's a really cool design.

Really clean, Adam! :) I'd concur with the number of posts on the front page. Then again, I would probably like to up the number on mine. ;)

Thanks guys. I dropped the font size a bit and it looks like that is going to work great, and I reduced the posts on the main page down to seven which seems fine to me.

There's a bit too much space between the lines. When you reduced the font did you reduce the line-height too?
Now I have to set my alarm for super-early so that I can catch the eclipse!

Good point Abi, I hadn't considered that, Thanks!

Brilliant simplicity Carmo, top notch!
One suggestion; how about adding a small "Jump to Menu" at the top of the page? Might cut the scrolling time for regular readers, and help new ones realize faster how the page works.

Looks good where you put it. No negative aesthetic impact and very easy to notice. Again, nice work.
