Update: Everything will be staying as is – forget I said anything.

In an effort to conserve more homepage space and get more content to the visitor at first glance, how would you feel about removing the “Abstract and Motion” from the homepage? This is not to put away Fernando’s excellent illustrations (as they are used throughout the rest of the site), but simply to open up more homepage real estate to showcasing content. My thoughts are for something like this:

Header + Nav / 1 Top Post (the newest) / Ad + Subscribe Bar / Featured and or Recent Articles (3-6?) / Front Feed + Jobs + Interviews / Rest of page continues as is.

How would you change it so we get the most content coverage?
