I came across Binary Moon through hearing about their blog contest. Basically, the competition offers the chance to gain a link and possible review from the PR7 site.
The first thing I notice about the site, is that it is designed by a real expert. It has calming effect, that very few websites have. It inspires me to consider hiring a designer to take improve the rather ordinary design of this blog.
The second thing, which sticks in the mind is how did the blog get a PR of 7.? I think the importance of Page Rank is quite often overestimated; nevertheless, given the chance to increase our page rank, most bloggers would be very happy. Given the blog has a page rank of 7, I was surprised that the blog has activated the “do follow” plugin. It is interesting that the blog has such a high page rank, given that it willingly gives out so much “google juice”.
Binary moon is well worth checking out for a few design and wordpress tips. It is also worth reading this thoughtful review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. – Don’t worry it is a non-spoiler

Thanks Ben, I’ll have to work on those 10 when my holidays are over…
