Cover Page Comments

A few notes about recent changes to the cover page.

1) Although I have a twitter account, so far I only find it marginally useful. Now twitter is in a very prominent position on cover with no preference option to demote it. My solution is to log out of twitter. I can live with that. As a bonus, I see that the empty karma section has disappeared.

2) When a short article from the top row of the cover page category grid is expanded in-line, articles in the same category that are below on the summary list are pushed down and superimposed over the summaries for the category below. Looks a bit ugly, though it causes no usability problem.

3) I can select a different feed for the photo feed on the cover page, but the link on the cover page remains to photographr.com rather than my feed.

4) Also, I don't care for the change to the photo slot. I haven't found any photo feeds that have sufficiently dynamic, interesting content. I think that a little grid of pictures from my articles (as it was before) was much more useful.

5) There could be a configuration option to choose the content for the slot now occupied by the photo box. I.e. choose the existing photobox, the old image grid, an explore topics summary box (see (6) below), or other things like a small twitter box or a stock portfolio box.

6) Explore results could be integrated with cover. I'd like to be able to specify some topics and see the results (from my feeds) on cover in either 1) a column of summaries or 2) a little box with the number of articles for the keyword(s).
