As you may have noticed by now, we've introduced a little something called 'page 2' (look to your right). We added this feature because we felt we needed a way to 'tier' the news we publish on OSNews, because a regular (and valid) complaint has been that people felt that interesting, one-of-a-kind items were being drowned out by run-of-the-mill items like software releases, short distribution reviews, and so on. Read on for a little more insight into this one.

To me it now looks that the "interesting, one-of-a-kind items" are relegated to the sidebar, displayed in smaller size (and title only), while "run-of-the-mill items" get the prominent placement in the center of the page, with introductory text, bigger icon on the side, etc. Shouldn't it be the other way around?
And am I the only one that is almost blind to the stuff in sidebars? Good thing these stories still show up in rss.
