Hmm... looks ok, very much like a blog though.
One thing, typos all over the goddamn place, in fact I actually couldn't read any of it as it just looks like gibberish to me.I think you should have a word with your designer.

It's hard to find a focal point in all that information.

Yes, I agree. There's a lot of information, it's hard to decide what might be interesting. I think that's a major problem on newspapers websites.

It's curious that you've mentioned monocle, dropdown. I think that the printed version of this newspaper has some similarities with monocle.

a bit cluttered, it seems.
surprising we have newspapers starting up in this climate.
