Clearly I like big bold design. There's no doubt about that. That said, I see your point and I think it's a really hard balance to strike. I don't think I've gotten it right yet and actually I've found the front-end design the hardest part of building the whole site. I think certainly there's elements where I could make it more compact but still look good but I do like the big bold list format I currently have. I'm going to keep working on it and eventually hopefully I'll find a layout that pleases everyone :)
