Shining examples of easy-to-read blogs? 

I'm nearing the end of a top-to-bottom rewrite of the software behind Scripting News.

As part of the rewrite, I'm adding CSS div's to every bit that's automatically generated, so it'll be easy for a designer to change the look of the site without touching site template (the template will also be easy to edit).

Part of the inspiration is that I want Scripting News essays to be easier to read, esp for people whose eyes aren't so strong -- like me.

So I'm looking for great examples of blogs that are especially easy on the eyes.

Please either send me a pointer by email or post a comment here with a link.

Thanks!
