ost_uid0]I also like the current look -- I haven't had any problems reading the text myself. If I could cast a backup vote, it'd be for either #4 or #5.
One important change I would like to recommend regardless -- though having the article separated into two columns looks cool, it is REALLY inconvenient for normal browser reading! I would suggest either (1) reverting to the normal single-column layout, or (2) adding an anchor link at the bottom of the first column to take the browser up to the top of the second column.[/color
