 > Increased the body font size to 14px so the text in the sidebar is
 better proportioned to the content. Added 5px margin-bottom to .widget-
 title and right aligned the tagline.

 I recommend not making these changes to style.css for a couple of reasons:

 - The theme was designed to highlight the content, as such there's a
 significant contrast between the type size of the main content area and
 widget areas. Increasing the body font size reduces this contrast and
 draws attention away from the main content area.
 - The tagline is currently left-aligned with the sidebar and the site-
 generator label in the footer. Right-aligning it breaks this consistency
 with the grid.
 - Widgets currently have a consistent baseline grid, so the widgets line
 up well (look at the footer of http://2010dev.wordpress.com for example).
 Adding a bottom margin to widget titles breaks that.

 I'll admit that all of these are subjective -- but that's kind of my
 point. :) Most of these decisions were set with the theme on which 2010
 was based, Kirby, and I'm not sure there's a strong enough argument for
 changing them.
