 * Looks nice and simple. Might I suggest some padding between the post text and
   the edge of the red background? I think it would look better and be easier to
   scan.

 * I took your advice and added a little more padding, does it look better?

 * It looks no different to me. I was going to suggest that as well but decided 
   not to, figured someone else would, and was right.
 * You need to sit about 8-9 pixels off the left margin:
 * Currently you have this:
 *     ```
       .post {
       margin: 0 0 40px;
       text-align: justify;
       }
       ```
   
 * None of that affect the margin uesugi67 is speaking of
 * You need this:
 *     ```
       .post {
       margin: 0 0 40px 9px;
       text-align: justify;
       }
       ```
   
 * assigning margins: top, right, bottom, left.

 * I added your code and _now_ does it look better?

 * yes much 🙂 but having done that now your right border looks tight. If it were
   me, I would add the same size margin on the right.
 * `margin: 0 9px 40px 9px`
 * that might turn out to make your post area seem narrow, you might want to try
   8/8 or 7/7 and see how that looks to you, but I wouldnt go any less than 6px 
   for each.

 * Looks better.
 * You might want to declare the page background as white, since right now you haven’t
   declared it so it defaults to the user’s defaults. 99% of people use white, but
   I use light blue. Lots of sites, even big sites, make this mistake.

 * The theme looks nice but the footer’s text color seem blind. You should change
   it to different colour
