‘Connect with’ link on Thurrott is redundant

Hello,

Just my thoughts on the website layout; I access Thurrott.com on mobile so find the ridiculously large ‘Connect with’ header and photo bizarre. Visually it’s quite jarring and amateurish.

It just seem intrusive and to be honest doesn’t make any sense for Thurrott.com.

It’s not like there are many writers for this site, the vast majority of post by Paul anyway. I think the readers are savvy enough to find author social links if they want to, so kind of pointless and makes the layout confusing.

Besides, the articles clearly credit the author anyway, just seems redundant.

It’s good that Petri doesn’t follow this design and they have more contributors!
