I'd like to echo this statement. I found the text was a bit too bold and there wasn't enough whitespace to let the page breathe. I couldn't really get my bearings on what I was looking at. A little bit more tweaking of the design will do wonders to communicate what the "intention" of the page is.

Sites like reddit can get away with a cluttered interface because they've been around for a while, have loads of content, and loads of users, so people put up with it, but for a new site, you have to sell them immediately.
