Playing around in Firebug, I think it's a bit easier on the eyes without the bold title and the title size a bit smaller. Also, I love the arrow in HN - very simple and unobtrusive. Yours might be fine with a little bit more margin to the right.

Perhaps maybe a bit more white space as well. With those adjustments I think it looks great

Awesome suggestions. OK we're going to play around with some of this and tweak... one follow up though: do you think the white space is a suggestion that "the mainstream" will like or is that more for the HN community coming over to news.learnboost.com ?

My personal opinion is that while it may not be something that the "mainstream" notices, it's a bit more comforting on the eyes and appears less cluttered.

Keep in mind, it's just one person's opinion, and I work with a guy who's pretty hardcore about padding and white space so I've grown into his style a bit ;)

Made some design changes (upgrades?)

What do you think now?
