The author's name on trending page and blog needs to return where they were. When reading the trending page, logic wants it that we look at post's title first and then possibly look at the author's name.

The way the author's name are displayed in relation to the post's titles make it appear as if it's the author's name that is being published. Titles are being published not author's name. The intents of authors are being published and transmitted in the post's title first and foremost. This is were the reader's mind should be drawn first and very unequevically. This is where the novelty is and intention are being conveyed.

A lot of what we see is being picked up and process by our brain unconsciously first. The way we design and display things mean something.

Right now the display seems to mean that what is being published are the author's name. When our brain understand it's the titles that are published and we have to make a constant effort to look at the titles first, our brain is constantly telling itself "Don't look at the elephant" so to speak and that's pretty much impossible. Our brain have millions of years of evolution of constant analyzation of what it is faced with. It's been annoying me to the point I instantaneously switch from steemit to stage.steemiz.io when the new design came out.

Also I totally agree with @liberosist post about the number of titles display on a page. And I feel like this need mentioning, I browse Reddit ever day for more than an hour for many years on end now and I almost never look at any author's name.

Reddit is the top 8 most visited website on the internet the most similar website to Steem in the top 20 probably top 100 and not matter what some people think about its designed, it still hasn't prevent it to be as popular as it is. In my opinion Reddit is really well designed, simple yet efficient.

I look forward to sharing with steemit more of my ideas and understanding about how I see things on the subject, pun intended.
