Comment on 3px of padding makes all the difference in the world

Comments

This guy is clearly a moron! That spacing needs 5 extra pixels, not 3!

Seriously though, great blog post. He is exactly right about the need for more spacing. I feel like he buries the lead... the last change he makes to the bottom comment section is a night and day difference. Not only does the last change produce an more significant improvement, it appears to make up at least the number of pixels lost in the extra padding. That should take away any possible objection someone might raise concerning a reduction in amount of content that fits on the screen.
