My blog is similarly minimalistic (http://beza1e1.tuxen.de/articles.html http://beza1e1.tuxen.de/articles.html). However, I do have an bigger footer, because after reading an article the reader should have various options like reading more of my articles, comment via email, flattr me, etc. I also want a date on every article. The titles on your overview page are hard to scan, because of the dates in front of them. I put the dates after the titles and dimmed them down.
