My intention adding the black bars in the left area, as well as the vertical space around the "Read more ..." link was to clear the flood of words currently presented while the bars should also add more expressivness to the articles excerpt itself.
What's currently not visible I'd like the position of the top area and the right column to be fixed with an 8bit fading background right beneath the prompt so the excerpts fade out when scrolling down the page. If I didn't indicate that there isn't something above the prompt I'd think that the excerpt should appear again after passing the prompt. That seemed weird to me. Any idea, another color?
