Discussion - Improving the Steemit Experience - Layout

@timcliff suggested that Steemit could host more discussion-like forums to encourage interaction and the generation of ideas to improve the Steemit experience.
Now, I'm not sure if others have experienced this, but I find it quite tiring on my eyes to read matter on Steemit. I think that the page could be divided up into columns so that our eye muscles didn't have to work so hard by travelling quite that distance. Think about the Facebook layout. It's relatively easy on the eyes. I say relatively because all web pages are taxing on the reader, because of the lights and the reflection off a white background. That Facebook layout isn't haphazard.
Perhaps there could be a few experiments undertaken on background colour - with voting on preferences. The best colour wins. What colours do users prefer as a background? This is not trivial. People with dyslexia, for instance, can sometimes have a preference for a blue background. I quite like pale blue myself. It is restful on the eyes.
Smaller font to fit more into a page. If the eye muscles move less to encompass more, it's got to cause less eye-strain and improve the experience.
Happy Steeming - I look forward to reading your comments and suggestions.
