Generally it looks professionally. Layout, fonts, colours are OK.

But...why did you put whole articles on main page? There is no need to 'enter the article' (click its header) because its all content is on the main page.

When I use TAB key I can't see which link is currently focused. I quite often use keybord for links navigation. On your page this feature is unusable.

That was something I was considering today actually, adding a read more link to all the articles on the homepage.

But, most of our contributors add their bio and website links to the bottom of their articles so that would cut their links out.

Topic and beginning part of the article have to be enough interesting to make user click the 'read more' link

When user 'enters the article' he will see all its content and the links you are talking about.

Maybe you should improve headers of articles. There are only names of contributors (like 'james' or 'Tommy Wayne'). Maybe contributors should be able to add link to their website, or their name should be clickable, or something like this.

Currently main page looks huuuuuge.

Took you guy's advice and I agree much better! The plugin I used is called "Homepage Excerpt" and it's really easy to install:

There is one more thing I've noticed. Where is h1?!?!?!

The logo should be clickabe h1 tag (with image-replacement).

Generally your header outline is poor. You use only h2, and h3 for 'reply-title' (!).

You should use h1 for logo, h2 for article's header, and h3/h4 for subheaders. Currently for article's subheaders you use strong and p tags (like 'Running shoes' in first article).

Proper header outline is good for SEO.
