Trying to catch the rhythm at the new sites

The link forum is initially seeded. It should be pretty obvious it's Rwanda week around here, so I started by searching out some good-looking sites on Africa and African issues. I'd have added more sites but, well, I didn't. I did get enough in there to get something of a feel for my design decisions. For instance, 1000 characters of description is a lot or a little depending on if you're displaying or writing the description. Maybe I'll cut back on the description that shows in the link listing, let a fuller description be the first comment.

As for Ya Heard? I figure I can update it twice per day., and I'm thinking of posting directly to it rather than linking back to P6 when I want to aggregate a particular article over there. And I think I need a template tweak here and there. I've got things set to whip up a intro line based on category (which I assign manually) and whether or not the feed includes an author name. It's working. But ultimately I want to impress folks enough that they send me the articles rather than making me go get them. Automation is a Good Thing™.
