I moved the introductory paragraph (that used to be at the top) over to the
left so that the actual content of the page could move up about 2 cm, and also
made the type in the intro paragraph smaller and lighter -- it's really only
something a person needs to read once.


This one seems less polished somehow but without a side by side I can't
quite put my finger on why.
