So I have worked a bit more on the layout:

A few comments:
- I have got rid of some of the ”white” above the news so it is closer to the top.
- I still haven’t worked out the issues with twitter
- I have made the part of text visible a bit longer so that you can read more before clicking on it.
- a general comment on the menus. The layout is based on the fact that pages other then the home page are made as accessible as possible. Mainly to reach a page there are two ways: 1. by clicking on a button, image or link on the page. 2. By accessing it through the menu. In other words, you could think of the top menu as a summary in words of what you see as images on the homepage.
I would like to start implementing the three column layout soon, so if there are no objections I will change the official website to this layout in the next days. Obviously it will be always work in progress and we can continue to improve it after that.
