I really dig the latest blog post tiles on the new homepage for Viget.com. I like how on rollover it swaps the title for a brief snippet form the article. And I like how if there is no featured image, the author's pic is shown, though it hides down in the corner until you rollover the tile with your mouse. Finally, they've categorized the posts with a subtle stipe of color at the top, showing from which of their 4 blogs the post came from.
