   The title type is now a bit smaller and better matches the logo's stroke width.

   I'm not sure about the link posts:
   First, I think I could better with that icon placement. I don't want a big one like the article posts, but I'm not yet convinced.

   Also, I still don't know where to put the permalink to the post. In article posts, it's the title of the article. In link posts, the title jumps to the referred link. Thoughts?

   And yeah, I'm using Drew Wilson's amazing Pictos Icon set :)

   Personally from tumblr I'd expect the permalink to exist in the icon that describes what type of post it is.

   I like the smaller type a lot better.

   In regards to the link post, I think it's kind of a cool idea to not have a huge icon like the "real posts." However, I think you should make this slightly more pronounced. Perhaps adding a circle backdrop to the arrow you have now?

   Thanks Tyler. The type is only 1 or 2px smaller but I think it works better.

   About the icon, I also don't want a huge icon. I've tried, and it stands out to much. I've tried the little circle, but it looks misaligned.

   I see your point - it'd be neat to see how it would work with an icon of an actual link
