I find Georgia to be very readable.

My advice (as an amateur =):

- always apply a generous line height

- do dark-grey (#333) on white (instead of the standard black on white, which is a bit too much contrast for my taste)

That's a really nice combination, but for some reason I don't like it on my blog. Maybe the background is a bit too much 'white', while in your fiddle is gray which makes the font looks even more awesome. Ty for sharing.
