However, I went the opposite way. Websites/blogs by Dustin Curtis and Chetan Kunte provided the inspiration. I looked for a single-column theme and surprisingly there aren’t many. Minimalism, I notice, is not a popular choice for bloggers. Even the ones I found had widgets hidden away in the footer but I finally found this one and it suited my needs perfectly. Thanks in particular to Chetan and Curdriceaurora for their feedback on font types and sizes. [...] [...] Lekhni recently revised her theme and went for the magazine look.

The only possible issue with a non-bolded title is if people instinctively look for the blog title to click on and so you need a prominently displayed title. Although here you can click on the picture too to read the post, that's unusual and at first one may not realize that? I’ll look into that too.

You might want to experiment with a smaller non-bolded font for the title, if you would like the photo to be the focus, rather than the title. But that's just a suggestion, your mileage might vary!.

I have fixed that, and also made the overlay bar a little narrower. Does it look better now? You are right, and thanks for pointing that out.

Something I will definitely consider if I find that more readers dislike the featured slideshow. Having it on the sidebar is a good idea.

I think it might have looked better with just the photos and the title of the article, rather than including a teaser first line.
