I found the text starting "The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international community that develops standards to…" uncomfortable to real. Possibly too small / low contrast. I don't see a lang attribute when the content switches to Chinese (for an event name)… and linking to an English document with Chinese link text in the middle of another English document feels weird. The links to Twitter and Identica are both images, with white backgrounds on a white background. The default link border has been removed with CSS. It is not clear that they are separate links. The design of the Permalink icon suggests that the link will open in a new window. The term "Permalink" is jargon and should be avoided. Permalinks are used to link to a stable URI for content that is transient on the current URI (e.g. when showing the most recent entries from a blog). The left navigation should not be transient. Also, all but the first news item is just a plain link with no following content, so shouldn't be marked as permalinks. -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk
