OK, I've applied #1 and also cleaned up the welcome page quite a bit. Let me know what you think!

The "what's going on now" stuff will require a little more work, and a lot more thought because I've been consciously designing the site to let users be as private as they want to be, which has had the unintended side effect of making it hard for some users to be as public as they want to be.
