This involved making it wider and reducing a lot of padding, and it increases the number of visible items on the front page by 50%. (Rough numbers: in the same space, mine shows 14 items, original Georgify shows 9, default HN shows 23.)
I think comments pages would be better if they were wider, but had a max-width applied to comments, so nested comments aren't squeezed so quickly.
Side note: Whenever I look at HN's HTML, I am horrified. Today's revelation: The first paragraph in comments are wrapped in a <font color="#000000">, the rest are <p>s.
Edit: There appears to be a bug that's causing comments that should be horizontally aligned to not be. The top and bottom comment here are responding to the same parent, but aren't indented equally: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/41899939/georgify-commen... (I drew the vertical line).
Edit 2: 32 points in one hour, yet this story is off the front page — this must be getting a lot of flagging.
