Dates on news items would be useful. You also may want to consider using the LiveJournal/Blog as your fronted/main page for news since it (should) do all the archiving sorting etc for you.

Also, having that many images on the first page is not very bandwidth friendly especially for 56ks. Minise it to several posts per page and thumbnails if possible. A back to top link would be useful at the bottom of each page would help naviagtion as your mneu is at the top.

56ks are dead, why worry about them

56ks are dead, why worry about them

Really? Wow, I'd love to hear what your background is, because the only people I know who can afford anything better than 56k are students who get high speed for free through school.

Besides, the first rule of thumb of web design is to design for the lowest common denominator of your audience. Building heavy sites is fine, just as long as you're expecting a high majority of high speed users. Even if you aren't worried about 56k users, a growing number of handheld devices (ie cell phones) are getting increasingly decent web browsing capabilities, and in many cases, they can't rely on a high speed connection. I doubt that these are points that Benh really needs to be too concerned about for his particular site, but in general, the "build for as low of a speed as possible" rule is a good rule to keep in mind in web design. The world is still going through an "IT revolution", if you will, and it will be at least a decade or more before technologies become standardized enough to say that you're safe to build heavy web sites.
