I like the content selection, but I'm not a fan of the design. Also, for inexplicable reasons, the website uses a lot of bandwidth when it's open in my browser.

thanks for the feedback. Do you have a good site-design in mind from another site? Totally open for change, right now just a quick (bootstrap) draft that works on web- and mobile with viewtext-integration. Looking into the bandwith problem right now...thanks again!

I don't like that the buttons appear only on hover, and that they hide the headline. I usually move the mouse wherever I'm currently looking at the screen, and then the text suddenly disappears... not good.

I like that the headlines are big, and I like the pictures of the authors (but they are distorted).

I see that your flexible layout doesn't really look good at any width (in Safari). Flexible layouts are a lot of work to get right. Maybe you should start a fixed width layout. Many blogs now use a simple one-column layout, around 600px wide, with large text (14-16px).

Such a simple fixed width layout works surprisingly well on mobile, without any adjustments at all.
