ronaldgrn, I think most sites use those menu like link units. I was in double minds whether to use them or not on my blog, but put it last week (just before this review post). Google has created that unit just for that purpose, I guess.
I removed the menu like link units. Probably you guys are right, it might have an impact of readership! Thanks...
Thank you all. The redesign of content is in my thoughts. May be a good custom theme one of these days.
