I agree with Vaughns comments on the font. I’m not sure if it’s the font or the colour? It looks blurred like a low res image which it’s not and I just couldn’t quite put my finger on it.

Other than that the new hub looks great, keep up the good work.

Hi Vaughan,
Thanks for the comments regarding the new layout. Just to back up why I used a sans serif font; from a professional point of view they are actually regarded as a far easier font to read, especially for people with visual impairments and/or dyslexia. I tend to use them for most projects unless a client has specified otherwise.

Enjoyed the story, although the passing reference to a telescope tripped me up. Even allowing for advances in Arabian astronomy, I found it difficult to believe such a device existed in the year 312.

Enjoyed the reviews too, although there were a few too many typos for comfort.

Not too sure about the use of a sans serif font. I find they look smart but are generally harder on the eye when it comes to reading non-trivial amounts of text.

But overall, the new Hub is looking good.

That Gordon Harries sure goes on a bit.
