blog redesign?

I'm considering making some changes to this blog. I was inspired by this little gem and it got me thinking that I could do a lot to make this page work better. This post is a call for suggestions. What styles, features, etc., do you all think would make this page better. You're the ones that read it so don't hesitate to offer suggestions or comments and I'll see what I can do to make improvements for you all.

clarification: I wasn't planning on picking up the design from the MyDimension blog I linked to, just looking at the mini icons that identify off-site links. I'm not sure the icons are the right thing to do but marking the internal and external links differntly seems very useful.

further explanation Neither was I agreeing, when I clarified that I wasn't planning on using that design, with any of the people that criticized it. Truthfully, I didn't even pay any attention to the design. I was so tickled by the very cool use of CSS for solving a very interesting usability issue that the colors or layout of the page went mostly unnoticed. Perhaps that's a good place for me to start - making my content interesting enough that my layout goes unnoticed :-)
(william, sorry if my linking caused you any bother. i really do like your mini icon feature and was completely sincere when I called it a gem.)
