- jgalvez 9y agoThank you! It looks great here but I'll keep that in mind.

- mikewhy 9y agoIt looks like content is cut off no matter how I view the page: http://imgur.com/a/hqsli http://imgur.com/a/hqsli
- Posibyte 9y agoSo you can see it: http://i.imgur.com/vphYLVa.png http://i.imgur.com/vphYLVa.png The columns aren't lining up properly and the bold yellow is pulling my eyes away pretty harshly.
- apocalyptic0n3 9y agoJust to add my voice to this, I read about 3 sentences before closing the tab. That is extremely difficult to read. Also seeing issues with the right column overlapping the left
- jgalvez 9y agoJeez, CSS is hard :) Thanks guys, I'll get on fixing this.
- Marinlemaignan 9y agoIf i may..? The equally symetrical layout is hard to read, you should rather use an one third - two thirds layout, or about. Then i'd try something like #FFF1CA for the left hand column, so it looks like the text (i know they right now are the exact same color but one being surrounded by black making it look lighter). Also, maybe increasing the padding up of the right col up to a 100px would prevent eyes from being lost between both columns when jumping lines. Overall contrast is way too high. Hope that helps.
- metamet 9y agoYellow font on a black background = I won't waste my energy reading it. Just follow readability standards and people won't skip your content based on presentation. Also, your sidebar's content is cut off and hidden... in Chrome. Which I shouldn't have to explain how problematic that is. :)
- qrestlove 9y agoMight want to fix your meta descriptions on the article -- they're set to your previous article.
- Posibyte 9y agoHey jgalvez, I wanted to come back a few days later to check this out. I love the article, which I didn't mention, but I also think this format looks a LOT nicer. Thank you for changing it!
- alttab 9y agoWould you say the webpage is hard to vue?
- st0le 9y agoOP not react as badly if it was.
- Marinlemaignan 9y agoand i had to tore my backbone apart so i could get closer to the screen
- alttab 9y agoI mustache him what he was thinking!
- dabernathy89 9y agoI actually like the yellow on black (not so much the red). There is a reason highway signs often combine yellow and black, the contrast makes it very easy to read.
- squeaky-clean 9y agoI think it's the screen. It's a little painful to read and the letters around wherever I'm focusing keep sort of "dancing" and distracting me. I'm sure if this were printed with exactly the same colors it wouldn't be as distracting.
- user5994461 9y agoAnd the panels are overlapping. A quarter of the text is unreadable.
- dmytrish 9y agoFirefox reading mode (⌥⌘R) to the rescue! I find myself increasingly using it even on decently designed websites when I need to read a lot of text.
