It's a good idea, but you need to change the color. It's an ugly color and doesn't match the rest of the color scheme. Plus the bigger font just looks plain out of place.

Its kinda the intention for it to get people's attention I might bring the font size back down, and I'm thinking of making it bold if there's been a new post to it, and regular if you've already read it. I might even get really crafty and make the color dim down a bit after you've read it. We'll see, I'm full of ... ideas..
