I've updated the theme's style in the following areas:

  1. New typography scheme to improve readability on large and small screens.
  2. A maximum width for the post container to provide a better line length and overall readability on large screens.
  3. Revisions to the post container margins and padding to improve readability on small-screen devices.
  4. Minor improvements to list styles, tables, blockquotes and preformatted code.
  5. Increased the number of characters at which post titles are truncated in post fragments.
  6. Display post date on post fragments and at the top of posts.

You can see the changes implemented on http://twangcity.postach.io

This is a test card I made to test themes for use with Postach.io. This Markdown document contains dummy text and sample post embeds from popular sites such as Twitter, YouTube, SoundCloud and GitHub.
Added section on inserting an image using Markdown.
Updated heading markup to reflect their use in the theme ie h1 for site title, h2 for a post title and h3 for the top-level sub-heading within a post.
Unordered list now marked up correctly
Three-column table is now actually a three-column table
Updated type scheme to use the 16px base font size and the perfect fourth scale (1.333). Restyled tables, preformatted text, lists and blockquotes.
Set a max-width on the post container, updated its padding and centred it - to maintain sensible measures when viewed on large displays.
Reduced font size of preformatted text and table content.
Updated type scheme and layout for display on screens below 560px wide.
More updates too layout and type styles for display on screens below 560px wide.
