Hi, again.

As you can probably tell, I'm new (both to Perl and this site). So, I've been looking at the FAQ's and trying to get a feel for the way things work.

I've got a couple of questions about the Monastery Gates page.

1) I noticed that there are several sections to the site that don't appear on the Monastery Gates page, such as Snippets, Code, Q&A, Library, Perl News, Reviews, and Tutorials.

These look like they're updated regularly. Should they also be added to the Monastery Gates? If not all of them, then at least Tutorials and Reviews.

2) I noticed that User Settings lets you control which sections appear on the Monastery Gates and in what order, but I can't seem to add the above sections. Can I do so? If not, can we get that ability?

3) How come the "headlines" don't show all of the most recent postings? It looks like several have been left out.

I did notice that these sections are listed in your Newest Nodes page, but it looks like that's designed to show only the most recent topics while the Monastery Gates show many older ones.

Sorry if these are commonly-asked. I checked your FAQ's and searched for previous topics along these lines, but didn't find anything.
