Thank you! The 'World of Badger' in the header uses a typeface called Gill Sans, which is what's called a humanist typeface - less harsh and geometric than some sans serifs. It was designed in the late 1920s and is now considered something of a classic English typeface. Your comment has made up my mind about the footer - it has to change! The mock-up I did looked OK, but now it's expanded to fit in the archives, it's just too much. Back to the drawing board... Yet more kind words, Miss Schlegel. Thank you!

Looks posh round here. I love the header and the typeface of your title. What is it? Is that what they call a hybrid typeface, in that it's basically sans serif but has little serifs on the "a" and stuff? I don't know much about design but I'm a very interested amateur. The colour scheme looks great. The spectrum in the header being repeated in the bullets and the submit button, and then the contrasting green on the "About this post" title. I agree with you though about the footer. What looks so elegant in the header looks a little garish when the line is so much thicker. But basically, looks terrific. Um, you did ask for my opinion, right? I do think that thin colour-spectrum line thing in the header Gosh. Looks posh round here. I love the header and the typeface of your title. What is it?
