Anybody else think the header on this page is too big? If you scroll to the bottom and take the footer into account the content is almost restricted to 1/3 of the window.

ANY fixed paged header is too big.

If it's a site I plan on revisiting, I'll modify CSS (Stylebot / Stylish plugins) to "position: static".

If it's not, I'll simply set it to "display: none;" as I do with other page annoyances.

Yeah, it's the browser toolbar 2.0. I have a bookmarklet to delete page elements and half the time I use it on these. The other half is on blog posts that have a huge picture of the author right along side. I can't read with someone staring at me.

Quite frankly, that should be the first change the Dean should make. Thought the header was the article at first.

Fixed headers/footers make it impossible to navigate content using the keyboard. Pressing spacebar/page down doesn't take into account the missing real estate and you miss a few lines of content every time.

I really dislike page that uses fixed position header like that. It wastes a lot of spaces. If they want to go back quickly, add a pretty "back to top" on the side...
