These fancy new blogazines, as the kids are calling them, make me really wish I had design chops. My regular old blog looks so lame and uninteresting by comparison.
Raganworld's markdown rendered blog @ github http://github.com/raganwald/homoiconic has convinced me that while eye-candy and design is great, it is the content of the blog post itself that is of more value to me as a reader.
Ironically, it did the opposite for me. I used to read and enjoy Reg's blog posts. Since he made the change to the new format, I don't think I've read anything he's written there: it doesn't work like anything else any more, and while his blog was one of those I enjoyed, I rarely go out of my way to find content like that when there are many other blogs competing for my limited spare time.
Something weird is happening in that layout though. Maybe it's just Chrome/Webkit but if you double click anywhere a grid overlays itself onto the page. It seems to be on purpose ( background-image: url(http://blog.peepcode.com/images/grid/27px-leading-w-60-80-gr...); ) but it seems quite bizarre.
