So a few of us have been chit chatting about how we have to enlarge our text these days to really read an article on screen. Here's a good article that I've read (in it's entirety... woa!) that touches on the many other points of engaging our audience on article pages. Hopefully these ideas can help you create a 'sticky' article page > http://alistapart.com/articles/indefenseofreaders

Hey everyone,

I took some pics (and still uploading more) from this year's festivities in Chinatown and have them up on my site at genelu.com. Due to the cold, I was forced to seek shelter after a few hours because I lost all sensation in my toes and hands. :L anyways, enjoy!
