I like that idea. If people can see the text scroll off the page, they
have a clue to go look for more.

How about:
- Move Shortcuts to the left of Support Us
- Move Featured User to where News/Events are
- Have News, Events and Blogs as 3 columns going down past the fold

But basically any rearrangement where the variable-length info is at the
bottom of the page, showing just enough to allow it to tempt the viewer
to scroll down further.
