I've seen worse. But there's certainly room for improvement and I agree there is a clutter that could be either removed or spaced out. I favour simplifying when possible, for instance at the foot of individual blog entries they have a row of buttons for sharing to various social media websites. In my designs I swap it instead for a simple share button, so if they want to share the article on a social media site they can just click and it'll bring up a menu with options. Things like that. Also notice they have 2 search forms and the RSS entries feed button repeating 3 times!
