    This would be a lot more useful if it were a running sidebar with the ten or so most recent posts, without tags or blurbs attached. Maybe you could push the center websites down somewhat further among the widgets. I also think allowing more posts on the front page would be pretty helpful: it’s not like there is so much multimedia that the page would load all that slowly.

    Thanks
