That particular page isn't, as it's a news story that will get bumped
off the front page as others are written. People who use a feed reader
probably won't see the updates. I realise the design could be clearer.
The news feature of the site hasn't been used much, so not much work
has gone into it. Probably should create a new story for further
updates. Maybe it'd be worth hacking categories into it.
