    Thanks @knittingfrenzy18 I am already thinking about a new design using what I have learned from some of the great advice that has been given here! The next version should be less boring. @Htmlmaniac, I want to keep the breadcrumbs for SEO, but t…

    @jurotek I do have to admit that the font I was playing with looked horrible in blocks of text though I kind of like it in the "logo". I did not care for as much line height and font size as you recommend but I am starting to agree that a…

    Good Article, thanks! I may mess with fonts a bit, but for now I upped the font size.

    OK, I see more fuzziness/pixelation on Cantarell in the smaller font sizes, but not so much with Apres. Spacing between letters "appears" to be more consistant and tighter in Apres, though I notice that letter combinations like "ox&q…

    OK, but is legibility subjective at some point? For example, with some exceptions I don't see much of a difference in legibility between many fonts. But there are obviously people that notice these things, even to the point of what appears to …

    I definitely appreciate the thoughts. As for myself I have no hard rules yet on fonts ( I am still just a baby in the artistic side of things). The font types that I am using now are an experiment in mixing sans and serif fonts, with the serif fon…

    Thanks! I think this is much better. Now my brain is going a bunch of different directions thinking about whole new designs.

    At this point I am wondering if I should move the search box up with the nav buttons. It could be part of the drop-down on smaller screens. It would also make search easier to find on small screens instead of all the way at the bottom like it ends…

    Thanks! I created a mixin with your shadow as a default but able to over-ride it. .inner-box-shadow(@shadow1:inset 0 -4px 0 0 #fff, @shadow2:inset 0 0 6px #333) { -webkit-box-shadow: @shadow1, @shadow2; -moz-box-shadow: @shadow1, @shadow2;…

    Thanks! I fixed up the search box. My thinking was to make it stand out just a bit with the original shading and corner radius. As far as the nav buttons. I wanted to do something a bit different, but it is obvious that they don't really fit…

    OK, I am starting to see the thinking here. I really need to make a better logo. In my defense I was starting to learn Gimp when I made that. I cleaned and tightened up the articles. Still need to decide on an article header/footer background colo…

    Bummer, I guess I am stuck in the 90s in some ways. I will see what I can do about the gradients. So the headers plain white with a divider of some sort or a solid color? I already added some padding to the bottom of the sidebar widgets. Thanks!
