  Apparently from all the downvotes I am the only one that hates a small iframe with a wall of text?

      I didn't, but still, if I am going to your website and you present me with content, it should be easy to read, that etherpad site is still an tiny iframe. I don't know of any other site really using that format for long articles that is popular.

    When evaluating the awesomeness of a site, layout is usually not the no. 1 concern, content is.

      Content that can be effectively accessed easily and well. Why do I clarify that... here's an example, do you like experts exchange?

        In some cases usability can be bad enough to create a situation where you prefer worse content with better presentation. Sure. But those are edge cases. No matter how bad a theme of a blog is, on the other hand, it is always secondary to content. There is a journalist's site that I frequent where some of his articles display all paragraphs as a single line. I cut ant paste to TextEdit to read them. He rarely writes an article I don't want to read. Still an awesome site.

  Hey ohashi & netcan, do you have any suggestions for how I can improve the way I show the transcript? I'm using a scrolling div after a few readers told me it's ideal for SEO, but I'm open to other options. Each hour-long interview is about 10,000 words. In comparison, pg's latest essay on Apple is about 2,000. So I'm pumping out a lot of text. As icey says, text isn't the main attraction on Mixergy, but I'm open to a better way to display it. If you have any suggestions, hit me.
