    I love creating ways for people to dive deeper into a content-rich site. In the case of my dad's new site (more details), all of his posts are long-form articles, and he's got almost two years worth, at this point.

    These subtle left/right buttons navigate to the previous or next article. They're fixed-position and transparent until you roll over them.

    They definitely suck me in and get me clicking between articles—hopefully it works for other people to.

    Try it out on the site.

    Pretty cool. I wonder if you could make it a tad more transperant before the rollover though... but other than that it's good.

    I played with a bunch of different opacity levels. I ended up on this one so it's not easily missed. On a glossy screen, in less-than-optimal conditions, it's still pretty subtle.

    Hey when this site is less than its layout, the button hovers in the middle of the page. Just an FYI.

    Hmm, Jason I'm not really sure what you mean by "less than its layout".
