May I make the suggestion of not hiding things behind cut tags? It kind of makes me skim over things rather than have stuff catch my eye as I scroll. That one extra click is apparently too much for me! Just a suggestion. And while I'm here, thanks for all your hard work.

Love to - but the sheer amount of stuff per entry would take up too much space on people's flists. We decided this was a better option...

Glad you're appreciating the comm!
