I've given my site a makeover.  There are a few little things I am still trying to figure out how to tweak, but for the most part after weeks of experimenting with different looks on a fake blog, I think I have come up with something I am pretty proud of.  I'd love some feedback.

I opened your site in firefox and I don't see a banner at the top, just an area of dark gray with a small "The Single Saver" link text.

 

Other than that I really like it!  Very clean and modern.

Love the new look! It's amazing how much a facelift can encourage…. I feel like I owe it to my shiny blog to keep posting as often as possible.

What? You don't feel that way too? :)

Great job!  Same feedback as others, although using IE9, the icon next to comments is not showing up.

Good and precise, but sharing some personal experience. I experimented on giving only the snapshot on home page too, but average time on site got reduced. After reverting back to last 4 full posts, average time spent on the site increased by as much as 50%

 

Do monitor your google analytics report and compare before and after.

I like it, it looks very fresh.

 

Although, as Buck pointed out, viewing in IE9 shows the icon next to the comments counter on each post as a box with a red X.

Nice work!!  I like the redesign a lot better than the original.  Laugh  Formatting looks good to me on Firefox.
