    It looks and reads like a real mess. Also, the hyperlinks are deactivated, leaving readers to try to swim through all of that info for relevant information. If you just kept the photo and the "CONTINUE READING" button there, eliminating the lead-in text, it'd make for a much smoother presentation.
