This is kind of late in the game, but I enabled the beta for posting entries, and I am adoring this. I love how I can select what I want to show when and where, and that I can change this at any time.

The interface isn't the prettiest, but it's clean and minimalistic, which is a breath of fresh air, as other sites do not have this, or are changing from it. Why they would do this, I don't know.

The interface that you have for browsing tags is lovely too, but maybe you could somehow work it so longer tags are still on one line?

I am not sure how LiveJournal does it, but their tag browsing interface has that. If I recall correctly, the longer ones kind of fade before they get to the next column (so you don't see the whole thing), instead of wrapping to the next line like yours does. I think that LJ's version might not be good for longer tags that need to be read completely.

Maybe you could do a smaller font? I have terrible eyesight, and I am sure that something a bit smaller wouldn't hinder me, maybe something along the 9-10px range.

One more added critique for the tag browser, is that instead of having the list go from left to right like this:

A B C D
E F G H

It could go like a typical list:

A E
B F
C G
D H

I just think that might be a little easier, as the eyes naturally go down and then up and over when reading lists, while with full paragraphs with text, they go from left to right and then down to the left again.

But all in all, this is a wonderful posting page and I love it!

EDIT:

Also, still on the topic of the tag selector, could it be possible to have the "save" button down at the bottom of that screen? It's kind of awkward for it to be up in the top right when all other save or update buttons are down at the bottom left or bottom right.

But this is just minor and me nitpicking, I am sure that there are lots more important suggestions.
