I like the idea and plan to make it my home page, but there is lot of coding nerdliness that doesn't exactly fit with design. Are you just trying to fill it out for now and as it gets busier, narrow the focus?

It's actually for both designers and developers, not just designers. But perhaps you could add a few default tags you like, "web design" for instance.

I love the branding. Regarding the limit on creating new tags when submitting, while the site is new I think you should lift that restriction. I wanted to add a new tag ("cheat sheets", seems like a common one).

I have gone ahead and added the tag for you. I wanted to basically force people to add to what I have instead of using tags that already exist but they didnt know what to search for. If you tell me what resource it is that you wanted that tag I will edit it (this feature to let users edit their own post is in the works, ive already coded it i just need to run some tests for bugs, and ill push it out)

Nice work. A really great idea, I'm working on something similar for musicians though. Nice niche you've picked, I hope it all works out for you. As someone else has already pointed out, you need to fix that contrast my eyes find it hard to focus between text and backgrounds besides that I would definitely use this.

A lot of people have recommended this but I'm not sure the best way to really go about doing this... do you have any ideas?

While I am not a fully-fledged designer I would experiment with changing the background colour to an off-white, something like: #EFEFEF - you'll notice if you do that then things are easier to read immediately because content is being separated into its respected sections.

The white you have around each submission is fine, changing the background colour seems to make it easier (at least for me) to read the site. There are probably other ways, but this is the first immediate thing I can recommend.
