I've been tagging/labeling each featured article. Now, I'm putting up popular labels (topics) under each section in the header for quick access. For instance, under the "Home" section, there are:
* Barack Obama
* rod blagojevich
* economic stimulus
* Super Bowl XLIII
* Middle East
* Peanut Butter Recall
* American Idol
Those pages by themselves aren't very developed yet - just a chronological listing of articles related to that topic. It's a good way to keep track of a certain topic if you've missed out on the news from previous days.
