The default style in knotes was not using vertical space well enough. It's been improved. We've also added some new utility classes for pull-quotes.

knotes has evolved wuite a bit in the past few months, and in the process the area at the top of the weblog views has come to be rather busy. The default style had not been using vertical space well enoguh to cope with this, so only a bit of the first entry was visible without scrolling.

I had a preliminary bash at improving this at the weekend, and things look quite a lot better I think. I've improved the typography as well, condensing it to get as much content as possible into the vertical space allowed without compromising readability. (Note to self - must add a widget for larger-smaller type :o).

I've also added a couple utility classes in the default style to allow magazine-style pullquotes. See for instance this item in Graham's weblog.
