In the blog post's thumbnail, you cropped the design differently that in the last blog post. This cropping matches what I saw in my browser when I opened the page: part of the navigation bar was off screen, the page is dominated by low-content images, and a whole column is missing off of the right side. Overall, there is a tiny bit of content visible in the lower right corner.
The criticisms on the last blog post are fair.
My cropping of a screen shot to create a thumbnail for our blog is completely random. Just a quick and dirty thing I do on Saturday morning while drinking coffee and watching the Food Network :)
To address your comment though, based on recent stats and conventions, these designs are optimized for 1024x768 screen resolution.
