I love it!

Use Disqus for comments or similar, there's not much hassle that way (just make your blogging system append the disqus code to the end of each post).

That's not what the question was ;-) He said that it doesn't know how to get comments in without hurting the design.

Also, -1 to Disqus. Comments systems are easy enough to write, and Disqus is disgusting.

Disqusting?

I really like the design, except for the logo. Most of the design has solid colours, but the logo has gradients and inner shadows, which look off. I'd replace it with regular coloured text to give the design a cleaner look.

You know how you can expand each post by clicking that fade-in arrow? The arrow doesn't fade-in when you try to collapse an expanded post (there's just an empty clickable area).

Yeah, I'm fine with creating a comments system but I want to figure out a nice and elegant way to integrate it into the current design, maybe if a box slides out of the right of the blog post with the comments? That might look cool.

Last night when I read this I was imaganing how the logo would look with just plain colours, and it was looking good. I'll see how it looks in Photoshop. Thanks for the suggestion.

What browser are you using? I'm on Chrome and it seems to be working as desired. I think I know where the problem might be though.

Well, you already have one arrow for displaying the rest of the content. Why not add another arrow that enlarges the box even more and displays the comments.

You may also want to have the box enlarge by clicking on the title of the article as well.
