    Yea, love the grid and typography. It works well. Though for the headers I may have opted for an alternate solution than sprites :) Seems painful to update –> http://www.livingprinciples.org/wp-content/themes/livingprinciples/images/lp_headings.png

    ^ This blew my mind! While i hate Cufon, it would be a better option than this.

    Aside from that, I love this website. A very unique touch on a simple layout.

    Nice, the layout is kind of blurring the lines between a centred and aligned site. Top work.

    But I think they need to lift their game in terms of the content imagery, some of it doesn’t feel up to standard eg http://bit.ly/cpPLiR

    Loving these center aligned/asymmetrical layouts. Does anyone know of any HTML/CSS tutorials to achieve this?

    Also Cufon et al is dead. Check out the future: http://www.fontsquirrel.com/

    Horizontal scrollbar on a 1024 resolution though… But I guess they can get away with that considering their target audience :)

    Nice design, way too hard to read. The columns are just there for filler - don’t see how they expect anyone to read that without eye strain.

    @dave

    On reflection I agree about things being hard to read, especially the ‘quick links’ section, the font size and colour a playing with my 28 year old eyes, a more defined colour palette and type size increase could be beneficial here!

    and related resources too, the white on lime green is pushing it…

    i liked the overall typography, but yes the right columns could be more readable.
