Personally, I find the styling of the OP's site much better than that of Vue-HN, largely because of the higher contrast (and less over-emphasized vote counts).

Personally, I find the styling of the OP's site much better than that of Vue-HN, largely because of the higher contrast (and less over-emphasized vote counts).
