I would make the text bigger, cut half the article out before the "continue reading this article" link, and I'd change the background color to something more upbeat.

With all of the article text you provide, by the time they get way down to the end, they feel they've read everything they need to about the topic and wont click the link to continue reading the article.

Other then that it looks great, a real solid design and nice graphics :groovy:
