Multi-column articles I noticed you added that comment about what's wrong with this specific article (lack of "background enclosure") to your answer too, thanks. So even alternating colours / zebra-striped columns would fulfill that |

Multi-column articles I really like this answer. "you might want to break with this convention to underline individuality" Yes! Horizontal scrolling would suit I guess. Thanks for the options, I feel like others are just giving the general best practices on line-length, etc. which doesn't really answer the question specifically about multi-column articles and this specific article under debate. |

Multi-column articles Hmm. As far as I can tell then you're not even saying media is the key here; you're suggesting rows over column. Am I right? Or you're saying use columns but with no text blocks which can be read in more than one order? |

How can I highlight errors when bright red is the main color of the brand? @3nafish Don't worry; "The comments below suggest" we have a sense of humout. That's all. |

Is it a bad idea to use grey buttons? As @zzzzBov said. Also, let's not forget that buttons are grey by default! I would advise going for a lighter grey though (like the Add Comment button below) |

How can I highlight errors when bright red is the main color of the brand? @rk I think the border-colour also depends whether or not the field has a required attribute |

How can I highlight errors when bright red is the main color of the brand? Yes, <blink> and it should flicker between italic and normal style font |

Why would a web site hide the log out button? Actually, staying logged in seriously increased the changes of a CSRF / confused deputy attack where you might think you're taking an action on a site but really you're clicking an action on Facebook which is in a transparent frame above what you see, for example |

Are hover states necessary? Good point on progressive enhancement. I'd add one more thing to "You shouldn't have to click something to find out if it's a button." though; you shouldn't have to hover over something to find find out if it's a button. |

How to avoid 12:00 AM midnight/noon confusion in a time input field? My idea is similar; when they select 12, show a subtle moon / sun icon as a visual hint |

Should a button become lighter or darker on hover? I agree with @KevinBurke. Also, definitely make sure that your mouse pointer changes on hover. It pisses me off when a site doesn't implement that (I'm looking at you Scrumwise) |
