Hi Robin,

The paper link looks more like a logo now, so people may miss it. Do you have an idea how to make it look more like a link to a paper?

Thanks.

Cheers,
Eelco

It is working for Eelco. It is not working for me. Can we get others to visit the page (http://music-loudness.eu-central-1.elasticbeanstalk.com/projects/loudnessnormalization/ <http://music-loudness.eu-central-1.elasticbeanstalk.com/projects/loudnessnormalization/>) and report what they're seeing.

I had to move the content out of the "Left Column" content area so I could add the hyperlinks (perhaps I can type HTML code in the Left Column text box but that doesn't seem right). This puts the content in the middle of the page which is fine. All the text is centered which is not so pretty.
