Clearly I like big bold design. There's no doubt about that. That said, I see your point and I think it's a really hard balance to strike. I don't think I've gotten it right yet and actually I've found the front-end design the hardest part of building the whole site. I think certainly there's elements where I could make it more compact but still look good but I do like the big bold list format I currently have. I'm going to keep working on it and eventually hopefully I'll find a layout that pleases everyone :)

I found that the blog is very good-looking, if you are debuting at webdesign too, it's quite impressive.

I actually like the big letter design because I think it emulates minimalism. If you have big letters, you have to avoid putting other crap on the page, and it gets you to focus on the one message (as opposed to a bunch of other things on the page)

I agree.. It seems every time I get a bigger monitor, websites progressively get larger to where they take up way too much real estate.
