As for having more people post on the front page, I agree, that is a great idea, and one that we can implement immediately with help from the readers. It all starts with the Diaries. I probably haven't been as good about promoting Diaries to the front page lately as I should have been. Mostly it was about timing, but there were definitely a few I should have found a way to squeeze in anyway. I'll try to be better about that in the future. In the meantime, just remember that writing a well-thought-out diary that's reasonably friendly to readers of all ages is the best way to land your words on the front page.

As for the photos and webpins, I'm not sure about these yet. GSOM is so large that they probably have the clout to acquire those things legally, but I unfortunately, do not. I have looked into adding some photos, but so far, haven't found out the right way to do it that's not a violation of somebody's copyright. Yeah, I know, you're probably thinking "lighten up and get over it!". Unfortunately, I have copyrighted photos of my own on the web, and I don't appreciate it when people steal them without asking, so I don't want to do that to somebody else. If I ever find out the "right" way to get photos legally and in a way that's affordable, I will do it.
