This is really interesting. Could you go into a little more detail about what you mean by each quote appearing slightly differently. We're trying to use the break provided by the author and the tags on the RHS to separate the quotes - but I guess this isn't really working?

The URLs are all variable size (do not truncate) and the "Browse more" content follows the variable length url. This means the Browse More section does not follow any pattern and just appears at the end of each link.

Because of this, every single quote appears different. For some reason, I think that standard content like read more should be standardized to help me find easy anchors while browsing quickly.

That way, when I look at a quote, the only deviating part of the design is the unique content itself, and I can be sure that if it's deviating, it's the content I'm looking for.

As it stands, it's difficult for me to parse the whole list as identical elements with differing content, and instead I'm seeing them all as different going down.

EDIT: I also do not like that you preserve tabbing from the users input. It's useful in theory but since your url content relies on a tab as well, it creates a very weird dynamic while looking down the page where a tab doesn't really mean anything, because it means something different everytime I see one.

EDIT2: I'm not a designer (but I fancy myself an amateur) and if I was in charge of the layout, I'd probably have done something like: http://i.imgur.com/o0s9UZl.png -- The subtext is noticably smaller, the url is shortened for consistency and length, and the two aspects of the subtext are floating left and right for solid, consistent anchors.

EDIT3: Coming back to it, I went a slightly different direction: http://i.imgur.com/jfFcB1N.png

I know you're not looking for design advice, I just had fun playing with someone else's work. Thanks :)

Just my opinion, however, take what I say as a user story and nothing more!

This is a great response. Just wanted to chime in and say I also much prefer the EDIT3 version to the current webpage. Look nice and separates the quotes very well. Seeing as how the main point of quotes tends to be to read them I would guess there might be less on the side of link following and making them small under there will also make the formatting look more consistent with different size urls.

Thanks for the suggestions and thanks even more for the illustrations too! I totally understand where you're coming from now. From your illustrations it's clear that having a few elements anchored to the bottom of the quote in fixed locations means that quotes are clearly separated. Good point.

As for the tabs, I believe we've stripped them from all the quotes. However, we do indent all paragraphs apart from the first in a similar fashion to books and long articles. Originally, we planned for people to quote much lengthier quotes (in which case it would improve readability), but I take your point that it makes it more unreadable in shorter quotes.
