With the help of the kind messageboarders over at b3ta, I'va adjusted the design a bit here. I made the borders thinner, increased the text size, darkened the blue, and just for kicks made the sky darker (in non-IE browsers - IE users are stuck with a gray sky. Oddly suitable, actually. I also went a bit crazy with the title text (the stuff that shows up when you hover over various things). In case it wasn't clear, this page's design is supposed to be a vague allusion to CRPGs such as Final Fantasy. I was originally going to have a much more accurate and annoying design, but decided against it.
Some interesting features you might not have noticed: A little dot appears next to the arrow down there for each comment posted in reply to a particular blog entry, and you can see a preview of the comment by hovering over it. Clicking on it should take you to that comment, although I haven't had a page big enough to check whether the anchoring works right. In the future, I will likely have a javascript that sets the background color according to the time of day.
