I think you’re right, it didn’t work that way.

You can just click on the post title instead of looking for the “Read the rest…” link.

You’re the second person that’s made a comment about the background being black. It was intentional to draw focus to the content, but I don’t want that to be at the expense of the brand. Good point.

The intent of the second column was to try to separate the ads from the site features more distinctly. Before I had them intermixed more.

Thanks again for the comments and feedback.

In my comment above I think I had blank lines between each suggestion. It has been posted with them removed so the ideas run together. You might want to double check that to see if it was my mistake or a "feature". Test - There should be a blank line above this. Test 2 - There should be a blank line above this too.

Instead the viewer has to search around for the 'more details' link. I don't like that (can't remember if it worked that way before but I don't think it did) Also, the site background is black (empty space on the left and right of the page when my screen resolution allows) in addition to the background in the header being black. Having them both black means the header fades away and almost isn't noticed. Maybe that is your goal but I personally don't like that since the header has live links and is a branding tool. If you changed the header background (or site background) slightly then the header could still be secondary to the main content but not ingored entirely. I do appreciate the new column for Google Ads... couldn't resist that one since you had hinted at a new column :) . Honestly, I actually like the ads in that spot instead of being tied to the summary of each post. Good choice. Overall, I really like it!

I'm good at all the technical stuff, not so good at the image/logos... @Elizabeth – Assuming you mean the border around the page or is the background of the article page rendering black in your browser?

I agree with Mrs. Micah that you need some kind of image in your header, but you're already on that. Love the new feed icons! I really like it!

The black page background is really hard on my aging eyes and just in this short amount of time is starting to give me a headache. Sorry. Hi glblguy,
