Here's my 2c: Too much information. We have horizontal and vertical scrolling, it's too much. It doesn't tell you what Pygame is, i have to scroll right to get that, very unintuitive. Because of the amount of information and the number of columns, any particularly informative posts are taller tha

I have to recommend against the horizontal scrolling and column usage. And having to maintain two separate versions of the web page almost always turns out to be a bad idea: it doubles your workload for updates.

It's certainly a very unusual design. I could imagine horizontal scrolling working, but I think having both horizontal and vertical scrolling is a bad idea - it's too easy to get lost, and I feel like I want to zoom out to get a full overview of the site.

Hi Greg, Since you used five NOs, I thought I'd break my own new rule of not talking about future features and let you know there is also going to be a 'lofi' version with a more conventional approach(think old craigslist level of interface). The current website is also going to keep working in t
