Love what you`ve done with the place! Though I think I understand what was being conveyed by the original design, I think you`re right, people will stay here to read longer with the more comfortable appearance.
Got curious and started a things I`ve done list – quite literally frightened myself. Some day I’ll find time for design.

Ha ha! What to say and what to leave out :-) Get it posted, Rick! I’d love to see it.
Many thanks for the kind words. So far, all comments have been positive! Looks like I got something right this time :-)
