Appreciate the feedback - been trying to make that look better and I agree it's not the prettiest. Any ideas?

Nice site. It has some good content on there. One thing that I disliked from a design standpoint, was the fact I couldn't open stories in a new tab. I suspect I'm not the only person who likes to scroll through and open interesting stories in new tabs to be read at my leisure.

Heh. I used to have the whole tile wrapped in an <a> tag, but google started doing some really weird shit with how they were indexing my titles.

So I switched it up . Now, only the image and title are wrapped in <a> tags, so you should be able to open in a new tab if you click directly on the image.

If anyone knows a good solution around this, let me know.

Since you have them with an onclick, add:

onauxclick="e.preventDefault(); window.location.href = '/stories/brumate';"

I a terrible designer so not much ;)

To me the jumble of icons is visually distracting, but it doesn't break the site or anything close to that.

Yeah, you're right, the icons do get kinda nasty (especially when there are a lot). Been thinking of moving all of this data into a "tab"/section that you can click on at the top.

So you have one section for the interview itself, one for tools, one for something else, etc.
