The people (or at least you!) have spoken. Herewith, some of your design notes! Thank you for them, we will go do some work tonight, and in nights to come. Wanna see if you are in agreement? Here they are.

• My one suggestion after going back to the site a couple times today is that I could use some kind of clearer delineation between posts/stories...they don't really separate visually for me (i know there is that light gray line down the left edge), which makes everything kind of bleed together.

• My .02 on design shit. The font's a little light for the white background. Makes it somewhat harder to read than if it were hard black. "Hard black," I know.

• The tricky part is visual minimalism – my eyes want anchor points and I'm not finding them. Is the text too light or too uniform? There's some color and bolding toward the bottom but I'm getting bogged down up top. Keep in mind I'm also blind.

• 1) I would like to see "be less stupid" or "Be. Less. Stupid." More prominently somewhere 2) the "about us" and "contact" and "rss" stuff — for me, at least — is buried and less-on-purpose when it's horizontal so I would put it in the same space but vertical 3) Split the posts up a little more. Something as simple as a dotted line would do it. They bleed into each other a lot as I scroll down but if that's intentional, then sure, okay, AMAZING 4) this may be a tall order, but I would almost have two separate columns, one for the full paragraph posts and one for posts that warrant mentioning but really only take a line or two — like the Ethicist one or the England is Awesome one. BUT that might make a massive amount of work for you, to have to essentially fill two blogs at once. Like two hairs coming out of the same pore. Might also be crowded. Maybe the answer is just to make it more even, peppering longer posts with shorter ones in between.

• this is awesome! I'll prepare some complex thoughts shortly but, in the meantime, some kind of breakline between the items would be good. :)

• Well, I am still thinking through the implications of the lack of headlines, as far as content and purpose go. I mean, there is something great and amazing about the zero-activation-energy approach of just blamming stuff out there without even thinking about display text. But, yeah, visual differentiation.

• -Pick a font. Please? Yes.
  -Pick a font color
  -Pick a font size
  -Fix the commenting system. So people can, you know...comment.Pet Particulars:
  -What's with the color scheme? It looks a little like the icon for The Hit List. More importantly, though, those are totes girl colors. You are dudes. Plus, sea foam and sky blue...an awl...does not compute. Granted, these are MY favorite colors, but mostly on me and around me. If it were me, I'd go with something else.

  -Whatever the colors, extend them down the page. Which, incidentally, is too long. But you know that. I get lost once I lose sight of the banner with the layout. Not enough white space between posts, too much on either side. Which might be me. Or maybe not!
  -Such great art on the icon, why quite so small? I'd make it more penetrating. Uhh. Yes. Well, okay, just a little bigger, you don't want to lose the whole thematic point. Christ. Sorry.
  -People like tags. They also like you two. I say reference both in posts on the landing page, not just in the click-throughs.
  -But use a smaller font for bylines than what you've got now, and certainly smaller than the post itself.
  -Renew the registration for more than nine months (give people a little hope) and make it private, asap.
