A Review of Blog redesign for scottgale.com/blog by Joey Guerra

The design is clean and the New Posts section in the header is cool, but the overall design doesn't engage the user nor does it help people get to what they want quicker.

To engage, I suggest adding a "comments count" icon near the post header and perhaps a link to the comments section to reply.

For quick navigation, I'd replace the New Posts section with a "Posts Like This" section since if the person is reading this post, they're probably interested in posts like it (same category or tags).
