Congratulations on a very engaging site! I notice that the front page grid
display for the articles stays consistent when one is selecting search
parameters from the drop downs above the articles but if one uses the
search bar to type in specific text, the search results come up in a
different format- is that the ŗlong form˛ template you are referring to? I
am interested to know why that was considered a better layout than the
grid version? Does it appear anywhere else apart from when one uses the
search bar?
All in all, very enjoyable. Articles are beautifully displayed and the
navigation is quite intuitive considering the vast amount of information
at onešs fingertips. Well done!
