I have made a few slight changes to the design based on feedback. Hopefully it should have fixed the rendering issues. If not, or there are any other suggestions and ideas, I am all ears. ÷seresin 19:38, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The blurbs for the featured articles are a great addition; I usually skipped this page before as dull. 86.45.144.158 (talk) 22:31, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. The preview of POTDs are nice, too. HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 01:38, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
