This site is almost a showcase of things not to do when designing a content site... inconsistent navigation, surprise interactivity, low contrast font/background combinations, inconsistent typography, icons thrown all over the place. I'm sure there's some useful stuff here, but I can't stand to decipher the navigation and focus on the text long enough to find out.
