If you see an article you like, be sure to Dig it by clicking Dig. That will send the cool stories to the top.
The way I was putting the stories in was I would take the first paragraph or so for the description. If you click the title of the story or the thumbnail, that will take you to the article on the remote site (like your blog). If you click "Read more...", that will just give you the full description.
That can be changed around. Let me know what you think!
