New Layout & Portals, Possibly?

jarandhelTrying a new layout for the main page that gives higher placement to the Otherkin News and Upcoming Events sections. It also reduces whitespace (well, bluespace in this case). I'm not 100% sold on it just yet, but I think it might be better than what we had before. Possibly with a few more stylistic tweaks.
It's been suggested that usability may be further improved by replacing the current category links on the main page with portals, as found on Wikipedia. Making and maintaining them would be a lot of additional work, and I'd have to work out exactly what topics it would be most useful to have portals for, so I haven't started on that yet but it's definitely under considerations. Suggestions/alternatives are of course welcome.
Unfortunatly we've lost power here and I'm not sure when it will come back up. Connected via my phone and the wonders of tethering right now. So that's it for the moment.
