Some thoughts: I'm not a fan of the 'click the arrow to slide down and read more' entry to the page. Also, I'm in the office with no signal so I can't check for myself, but how well does it appear in a mobile browser? That's a big factor in the google pagerank algorithm now. I believe google has a 'mobile view test' page somewhere.
