First post? ;-)
A couple of comments:
1. The site seems alot slower than before
2. Not sure I like the thin black border around everything. Thought I'd popped up the page in Mozilla Editor by mistake at first!
3. The comments need too much HTML formatting to make them look good
4. Good luck! As someone who's contributed a small amount of money to the running of LWN I hope that this brings you more traffic, advertising and profit.
Long live LWN!

First post indeed :)We have a lot of issues to work out with the new site, obviously. Performance turned out to be a rather more urgent one than I had expected. A bit of Apache tweaking appears to have resolved the worst of it, as far as I can tell. The site is now running fairly high traffic and is reasonably responsive.
On comments and HTML: it's on my list to recognize a "plain text" comment and format it appropriately. Should have been done by now, I agree.

Speeds seems much better now thanks! And yes formatting for plain text will be much appreciated. Great work so far!

This site is gorgeous. Much nicer than the original - and being able to add comments is a major plus.

Uggh - posted too soon. The style sheet for the very front page has bugs in it - the top article text runs into the ad box. This is with Mozilla 6.2.
Formatting

Why not to provide an option to use LaTeX style formatting, i.e. one or more empty lines separate paragraph, everything within the paragraph is freely reformatted by the engine? I personally think this would solve many problems...
Structured Text?

Article titles should be bold. The color red isn't easily read for text. Article title bar crossed through your text box. In summary, the old site was easier to read quickly. The new one needs work to service the reader better.
Font sizes

I agree with the others about the too small fonts. You specify specific font sizes in your code. This assumes that you know what size is most comfortable for viewing your pages by ALL of your visitors. It's better to leave that font attribute empty or use only relative sizes.
