Ask HN: Please Review My First Attempt at a WordPress Theme Design

Hey everyone, long time lurker here. Here's some background. I'm a Philly based guy who recently decided to wind things down with my first real startup, http://greenkonnect.com/. I was primarily handling the business side and handling the product (but not really the design). Now in my downtime figuring stuff out, I decided it was time to move beyond just business guy and expand into being a business/design/usability/front-end guy. I love being a product concept guy, but I want to be able to do the concept and design.

My first project in this process is the creation of a WordPress theme for a blog that I write with a friend, http://lessdoing.com/, which we're moving away from Posterous.

I'd love feedback on this theme concept: http://cl.ly/3p421X0H3i1N0D083b3a. My goal with it was to put a focus on the content and let everything else kind of sink into the background.
