In case you haven't already, you should check out Sphere. It's a great new blog search engine which I helped get started last year and which, more importantly, will help you discover great blogs.
The UI and design is great, but there is one thing that you guys might be able to do to make it better. On the right side there are three options under “this topic is associated with” and when you click on an option the page reloads. If you could use some sort of technology such as AJAX so that the whole page does not reload, sphere would be that much better.
Also with the flash slider there is some flickering going on with the dates.
If AJAX is used, how will users with screen readers know that portion of the page has refreshed? Lesson: Dont use unneccessary technology for the sake of it.
