I agree with leanneclausen. I actually rarely read through all your articles because I don't have the patience or time to click and wait just for a few words. What if you want to jump back to an earlier page? Click and wait all the way through?

19 clickthroughs for an article? One tiny paragraph per page? You've got to be kidding me. You need a 'see all on one page' link, and you need it NOW. If you haven't figured this out by now, maybe you don't have children of your own.
