I need to fix the navigation (or just rework it), AND I need to (consider) breaking out an Everything vs. Front Page feed, I think.

What's up with that? I signed up promptly, on the first day it was announced at MF. Did we start at 100? Is there a reserved block for Josh's nepotistic hangers-on?

I guess I should consider this also to be a "who is using RSS" test, and a reminder that I should clean up RSS stuff while I'm at it. Heh. The gmail problem seems to be mostly better -- I think it's being pretty responsive now, so you can go for it if you like. Many folks have signed up, waited x number of minutes, and then just emailed me after the fact to ask me to push 'em through manually, which I'm fine doing, so I say go ahead and sign up and just poke me if you need to.

Have I stumbled into something I wasn't supposed to see? Does this mean I'm part of the cabal now? Or are you just going to flashy-thing me? Hey, while I have your attention (if I do), is the temporary Gmail problem actually temporary or not? Should I just go ahead and register with it or should I continue to wait?
