i meant that a good title has enough space for each word. Here letters in each word a bit too close each others.

I am so glad you changed the font size. I love the look and feel of your site and am now much more comfortable spending a leisurely time here. Kudos. You Rock!

I wonder if your traffic troubles might be a little falsely bloated. I came to this site from http://ansblog.com/2009/11/mos.....te-design/ where your site was listed, and I wanted to see it in person. I don’t doubt many other people are doing the same. When I saw the picture of your site, I felt compelled to visit being interested in what you had to say about “solid basics”. When I clicked the link, and that page was not there, I was immediately felt like I had lost connection to the information I was looking for. I think be eliminating your splash, you are loosing connection with those people looking for simple information.

Thanks quinceandquilt for your comments. I really appreciate them
I will be still working on the font to make it better and easier to read.

I’ve been looking around for well designed blogs–to see what works and what doesn’t–and I’m really impressed by yours. I know less than nothing about the technical end, but I’d make one suggestion. I think a serif font is easier to read, and I’m not crazy about justified margins. However, I guess it depends on your goals. I think both the existing font and margins make the website look serious and decisive. I hope you take these comments in the spirit they are offered: genuine comments from the lay eye.

@Jasha – It’s true – titles are too close to the upper text. I’ll have to fix that one. But what do you mean by them being sticky?

@Juha – Congrats on having so many posts. It is true that you probably need a different solution – for example pagination in categories.

Ok i guess you’ve done a great job, still i’m not satisfied by the font settings. Let me explain:
In titles letters are too sticky and also they are too close with upper text, it makes confusion and it’s really hard to distinguish paragraphs.

Category pages handling depends on how many posts you have per category. While you still have less than 50 posts in categories, it probably works just fine, but my finnish blog for example has 123 posts about Helsinki …
