Right now The Monastery Gates is admittedly too long. Many of you surf from Newest Nodes which is your prerogrative.
What I'm curious about is how any of you think we could better arrange the frontpage and keep the size down.
One option is Read More... type of links to
shorten long posts. Problems with this include
breaking HTML without having editors manually
choosing spots for the links.
I'd like to hear any ideas that any of you might have to
improve the interface for unfamiliar users. (especially the default page)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
