Maybe the new theme I put together for my personal blog will sell you on post formats: http://matt.harzewski.com/

I have regular posts, and I’m using the Link post format to create Daring Fireball-style link posts with headlines that jump to the source. I’m using the Crowd Favorite plugin for it, too.

I think the tabs for the different formats make a lot of sense here. It definitely makes the feature a lot more appealing.

I’m still not fully sold on the benefits of post formats in general. My gut reaction is still that if you’re posting such a mix of content, then Tumblr is the better option for this because it’s so much simpler than WordPress and it specializes in exactly that.

That said, some of the example sites put together to showcase post formats do look awesome, so it’s good to see more development in this area at least.

Great! I’ll have to keep an eye on that ticket.
