There may be some changes on the page today. I’m tinkering around with a few new themes and seeing what works best.
The previous one was called Fresh-Editorial and I was fond of it, but I couldn’t make it do a few things that I wanted for the long run. The current new front runner is called Monochrome. It’s simple and clean-cut, which is exactly what I like in a web page. A downside is the text – gray on white. I’ll probably switch that to black and see how it looks. Suggestions or advice are always welcome.
When I did a redesign on my blog, I installed the Theme Test Drive extension (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/theme-test-drive/) – lets you set it so that only you see the theme you’re trying out.

Kind of nice, though it would be better if you also changed it so the text in the comments isn’t so light a grey against a white background.
Maybe change the following line in comment-style.css from:
.comment { border:1px solid #ccc; color:#777; margin:0 15px 15px; padding:15px 0 3px; background:#eee; }
To something more like this:
.comment { border:1px solid #ccc; color:#5F5F5F; margin:0 15px 15px; padding:15px 0 3px; background:#eee; }
That way the comment text is darker (and easier to read) while still not being as prominent looking as the main post’s text.

Thanks for pointing that out Mark. Made the change and it does indeed look a lot better.
