User blog comment:Rupert Giles/Prototype for a new article layout/@comment-11100467-20150112015058

When I see this new layout, one thing immediately springs into mind: TOO. BIG.

I swear, the font is too large in my preference and the reccomended content area is HUGE. Same goes for the very bottom of the page where the links to Community Centeral and Terms of Use are located. Most sites try to keep those areas small and inconspicuous, not so huge that it looks like a banner.

The integration of the must watch videos into the content is a bit annoying too. I have also heard that the new layout wrecks the infoboxes, which is a real bother because fixing those will require lots of tedious work.

Overall, I'd say it needs a lot of changes before it can be presented as a new layout.
