As if you need approval to make such excellent designs TINALS 🙂
Just make sure you keep both available [old and new] they are both too good to put in the cupboard…

I’m a little worried it just doesn’t all fit together – and that it might be hard to read. You know how it is when you stare at a screen for too long – sometimes you just need some input.
Welll, you don’t need to worry. It is excellent. Really. My only criticism [if you can call it that] is that perhaps the menu could do with a bit of graphic input. Not much though – just enough to ‘balance’ the site really.
My suggestions …
Since you are already going for a heavy gothic theme (and that’s gothic as in history):
* The overall typo does not reflect the atmosphere that you start with the header. I would suggest a serif font like Georgia or Times.
* Overall I find the basic text width and font size not in proportion. Either make the width smaller – so your readers eyes can easier swing from the end of one line to next beginning – or simply crank the font size up.
* The headlines (or it’s fonts) are to small IMHO
* The content ‘frame’ is to delicate, it needs to be bigger to correspond to the proportions of the header. Maybe also the inner edges could be rougher – not just a straight line …
* … and I am sure your right side nav will be more goth as well …

Very nice! Your ‘previous posts’ link seems to be showing up in the middle of the page rather than at the bottom.

Does anyone know what to tweak in the CSS to make the lines of writing a little farther apart?
Looks great, I don’t exactly know what you mean further apart but I am guessing just some space between the lines?
‘
line-height: 1.5em;
‘
should do the trick
You can also do line heights in percentages:
line-height: 150%;
Just saw the image under the Gardiner.. I was born in Toronto and thought it looked familiar… cool site…
