First line is old style, second line is not. I think Georgia has both so if you want to use the old style you need the css he's using; "font-variant-numeric: oldstyle-nums;". I use that on the body tag and then for the h1, etc. I switch back to regular. I got this from the Blitz site; what my body tag has is "font-variant: common-ligatures oldstyle-nums proportional-nums;" and for h1, h2, h3, h4 it's "font-variant: common-ligatures lining-nums proportional-nums;" and there's other stuff for both of them (e.g., bold for the h tags).
And old style numbers look terrible/awful/wrong/really nasty.
