to your points: 1. Yes. the homepage could you something more obvious. What about something where (1) a few story abstracts are listed along, or even possibly the first paragraph. (2) a mini-story submission

2. Content is still king, and definitely struggling with that.

3. I love your ideas for getting some content in there.

4. I really like the idea about making it about the storytellers along with the stories.

You've given me a lot to think about here. Thanks for taking the time. Anything else, please feel free to pass your thoughts along.
