Opinions on Style Please
I am working on a redesign of the Dictionary.
This is the current style: http://www.mathsisfun.com/definitions/kite.html
Alternative 1: http://www.mathsisfun.com/definitions/layout-1.html
Alternative 2: http://www.mathsisfun.com/definitions/layout-2.html
Alternative 3: http://www.mathsisfun.com/definitions/layout-3.html
Which do you like?
What are the best features? Should I try to combine the best features and create a new one? Any suggestions?

Hi MathsisFun;
Alternative 3 looks best to me. The search bar is up on top a good distance away. The text fit best on my browser with this one.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.

Re: Opinions on Style Please
I agree with bobby. I think having the alphabet on top of the ad looks better than the other way around.
1) loses points with me because I have to scroll down to see XYZ.
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

To me 2 and 3 look the same, and I like them both.

Hi Maths;
Looks fine. No need to tinker with it anymore.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
