Ok will look later today. 

I was rushing and read the wrong name! Look back, I edited!

I think this might be more what you're looking for in a scroll bar. A header type by-line instead of just copy-pasta text in it will help a lot, it will also make the scroll look more professional and readable. Also, making the whole box link to the article will help, having to click "read more" to go to the link seems unnecessary.

Color consistency. There are a lot of colors here and purple shouldn't be one of them. Keep it matching your header and use either black, green (recommending something like a lime-green) or red.  White may also be a good choice (effectively, transparent).

Also, you may want to talk to your editorial staff, as some of the writing needs drastic revision.  I would say the title smacks of being juvenile as well.

Thanks for the input, Stephen!
