Here they are, with grid and without.

Update:
I’ve also added a links/image mockup.

Update 2:
This would be a blog about art and technology, targeting the sort of people who read Make or BoingBoing (or Wired Magazine in the early 90s), but also ArtForum, Metropolis, Frame and the like. People who are interested in things like this and this and this and this and this and this and this, who are equally comfortable geeking out at an Uta Barth opening or a digital workflow presentation. The purpose would be to group notes/ideas/events on these related interests in one convenient place. I am planning to create the menu drop-downs with Javascript (still working that out though).

Here are a few themes to consider. The people making these are sort of hilarious - they clearly know CSS quite well, but have almost zero typographic sense. I thought these three were interesting more from a grid/layout perspective.

Feedback/class comments: avatar as real image [fixed], resolve tags in header [removed], date/tags per post seem “detached” [added color to unify with post heads and blog title bar], fix quoted text [fixed], make bullets appear as such [fixed]
