But... a little disappointed that an announced redesign like this does not include support for responsive/liquid/mobile-first viewport width.
>> I made the reading column wider (640px) ...
Hard-coded pixel widths are not friendly to the proliferation of mobile devices and screen sizes these days.
Maybe hanging while it is filling in the Facebook and Twitter buttons on each post?
It's so weird to see this when I was just thinking to roll my own webfont of Whitney and test it out. I've done this before for another HF&J font before and it was not fun (besides probably violating some TOS). You have to hack the font file to get fontsquirrel to spit it out, and even then some letters rendered improperly on Windows. I'd be happy to just pay for the service..
