I think it looks very classy. In a very sophisticated and understated way.
I have seen this sort of theme before, but I (personally) just don’t get the need to actually click through to read each post, especially the first. As in I’d like to be able to load up a URL and just read; not having to click unless I’d like to do something, like comment. But maybe that’s just me.
Agreed — clean. Checked with IE6 and Firefox 1.5 Windows.
Some exuberant (where oh where is spellcheck?) behaviour with the search field in firefox, highlights when i’m mousing around several inches to the left of the search magnifying lens. But nothing startling.
however…
where the heck is the “home”
i can’t click the blog title to return to the home page? tsk tsk. (actually, i just did a site and forgot to do this too)
I’m neutral wrt wahgnube’s comment, i see their point about not wanting to drill-down immediately, but it doesn’t bother me.
now, the home page? that bothers me.
jk. nice job.
The grey font on black background is a wee bit difficult to read, especially as small and narrow as the font is.
Otherwise I like it, it’s very different.
Thanks for the comments and suggested changes guys …
