New Homepage: Did you notice?

Yesterday afternoon, we pushed a newer version of the homepage. Instead of 3 stories from each of the top 5 channels and 2 stories from each of the next 5 channels, this new iteration of the homepage displays the top 2 stories of each of the top 10 channels and the top story from each of the next 5 stories, ranked. We think this brings a more balanced experience to the site, while allowing for more growth of the individual channels. You can still find the pure-ranked version of the homepage via the More Hot Stories link at the bottom of the homepage. We still have hometest (what had been the homepage last week) and hometest1 (top story from the top 25 channels) up and running as well. Now, what can we test on hometest2 next... ;-)
