Sorry, I don't like to gripe but I have to whine about the site design. I scroll while reading. As a habit I typically keep my focus toward the top of the page. With your page the stuff I'm about to read disappears just before I want to read it. It's <i>incredibly</i> frustrating.<p>Then when I scroll back up to try to make the text reappear it doesn't unless I either wait for the fade transition to finish before scrolling up or scroll up an additional segment. Except when this happened on the first segment I couldn't scroll up an additional segment so I needed to refresh the page.<p>You can probably fix this by adding a bunch of whitespace between scroll transitions, or by fixing the animation step to the scroll event rather than using a timeout event (I didn't look at your source, but I assume at some level that's what's happening).<p>Either way the nontraditional design is superfluous, frustrating, and distracting from your goal. I assume you want people focused on your content and ultimately your goal rather than your design. You might have better luck with a traditional blog layout.<p>[Edit: I'm on Chrome on a 13" Retina Macbook Pro.]

Nice idea! Liked the design until the green &#38; yellow background colours... They're much too bright and contrast with the text makes it very hard to read. Otherwise, good luck!

Admire the effort, but even if you work from dawn to dusk there's not much you can do in a day.
