I think it should be moved to a so-called `corporate' section like I was

I think that it would be really nice to get that kind of information up.

Some of the press articles are silly, but I find them 9 of the 10 times
quite interesting.

Well, news is important. If we can get news `shorts' that would be
really neat, because we could style them in a pretty cool way.
