Okay, I got so much good feedback from the Blogjacket design that I decided to run with it.
Here is a rough draft.

Do you like the design across the top of the page?
Is the main body font too dark or does it just look understated? I am going for classic understated.
Can you tell me how it looks in your browser? Right now I only have IE since my computer crashed last month.
