Argyle Blog Concept

I've been wanting to use an argyle pattern in a redesign of my blog. I thought I wanted to use it as a repeating pattern, but I could never really get it to work in a way I liked. So I tried it more as a graphic.

I'm mixing 4 typefaces here and it's pretty glaring in this little sample, but I wanted to throw up the shot just to see if anyone wanted to offer some feedback.
