Funny, that's the thing that made me reach for readability. I don't like that style of design when people put huge titles for their blogs at the top leaving me momentarily confused as to what I'm looking at, only to realize the content actually starts further down the page. It was neat, but I don't like it.
For me, I tend to read on a high-resolution monitor, a few feet distant from the thing, so I'm always at high magnification, and image-heavy layouts like that really bog down the page magnified on a 1900x1200 screen.
