Death Wh-
I did it. I finally started a blog. I swear, it wasn't my fault -- Renegade made me do it.
If you don't get the name, refer to the original post.
This is really a fun site and little else, so I'm not that concerned about industry-grade compatibility and compliance, but it is still a low priority goal. I've used -moz rounded corner CSS extensions, so it might look a little boxy in other browsers. I'm aware of the numerous validations errors which are caused mostly by the external content and automated scripts. It is and always will be a WIP.
What do you think?

Haha, was there just a while ago after updating mine
I don't really like the green chess background that you have used, I prefer the other black one. The background colour change for the links is also slightly disturbing too, it jumps out too much. Background colour change is fine, you just have it too much and stands out too much too...
I like the curves that you've introduced, however, what about some consistency and add rounded corners to that box in the current post?
I also find the general feel of the site too... general... not really a theme going on. On the top you have a brooding angel (sounds a little familiar...) and in the bottom corner you have a chess piece.

Ha!
Well, it's a blog. But the same problems apply.
Who are you?
Are there sections?
What do all the links on the side mean? Which are for the site and which are for other things?
Will be a pile or will there be categories?
Typographically, the first paragraph shouldn't be indented, only the subsequent paragraphs.
Looks good, though, and you have a pleasant voice.

I didn't really think about those. The style is a very heavily modified form of a default Blogger template, so I stuck to the original content format. But I will fix those up. Thanks.
I was wondering about that. Thanks for clarifying.

Fyi, it now validates.
I think I've fixed the paragraph indenting, but I used CSS sibling selectors instead of explicit classes. Does it work on your browser?

Works in Safari lovely -- you might want to make the indent slightly less, though -- it should be 1em only. A gentle indicator.
The line-height between paragraphs should be reduced somewhat, as well.

Heh, no, it's good advice. /me adds it to the list
