Some questions after browsing the test page. Keep in mind that my focus is, as usual, centred on the design of the most lengthy and comprehensive of articles. (
Part 9 Test Page for reference)
#1: At the bottom of the page there is a Comment window. Will that be there in the final version? It is my desire that the Unused Text articles feel more like "Documents" and "Guides", rather than a News Article that people can spam comments on. It is for this reason that, when using WordPress, I have chosen the format "Pages" for UT articles instead of the News "Posts", because the former doesn't include Comments.
#2: Observe in the embedded YouTube video near the top of
UT Part 10 that the video extends beyond the "wall" to the right, interfering with the "Recommendation Bars" (or whatever you call them). Can this be fixed so that embedded YouTube videos have their size adapted to the article width limit, which appears to be just below 830 pixels?
#3: When comparing the Current/Normal frontpage and the Test design, the article width limit has been decreased for the latter with about 100 pixels. I will admit that my dislike of moving down from just below 930 pixels of width to just below 830 pixels is only based on my taste as a content creator: I *like* the more freedom I have to move around in. Whether this is actually convenient for the reader or not is a different story.
But regardless of my personal taste in that regard, one piece of the test design sticks out to me:
The unused space to the right.
For pages like the Unused Text articles, I would either completely remove the content of the "Recommendation Bar" to the right, or move it to the very bottom of the page. That way there won't be an endless pillar of nothingness to the right.
All the three items can easily be solved if page-specific designs are a viable option, without in any way interfering with the overall design plans (which are great).
