The negative space you're experiencing is largely due to the size of your monitor/display. Sorry about that.
We have more LGBT offerings on the book side of premium currently - we are trying to add more LGBT titles to the premium section.
We look at every submission sent to:
submissions@tapasmedia.co
As for font blurriness/rendering issues. We've found that the font does not render properly on Internet Explorer.
We're working to resolve this issue shortly. We are also going to up the contrast between the font color and the background.
We're still tinkering with the front page and we appreciate everyone's patience and feedback.
The Popular/Trending sections are static sections that aren't as modular as small/large tiles, collections, etc so we'll have to hardcode those into their positions. We'll be playing around with the placement of those periodically.
