There's a lot of nifty typography stuff going on but I agree with Ranjani's remark about your obvious preference for messing around with the first character or first paragraph. What I really DON'T like is the uppercasing on first paragraphs. All-caps is simply really uncomfortable to read in my opinion. Other than that I think it's a pretty cool and rather unusual design. Nice job! Overall I really like your design.

I'm proud of how fancy you've gotten with your CSS! My experimentation rarely goes beyond using colons and square brackets to single things out. You seem <em>very</em> fond of accenting the first lines and letters of paragraphs though :P Nicely done! I’m proud of how fancy you’ve gotten with your CSS!

Interesting typography, very clean design. When I first saw the homepage I thought "Wow!". And the site does degrade well in IE :) It looks great! Interesting typography, very clean design.

They have some very nice typography! I'm probably going to change all the implicit <code>text-decorations</code> here into <code>border-bottom</code>'s to make it look slightly better as well :) Hey Sam, Not intentionally, but it’s possible.

Going to have go back through your archives and peruse your previous articles. And hopefully this will motivate me to get off my own behind and get some work done on my site. Great work, hope you keep the informative posts coming. Absolutely loving the new design, so clean and efficient yet with that serif twist throughout.
