Changed the front page from Squills and back to literary posts for a few reasons (first two are related):

1. The average amount of time spent on the front page has dropped from 2 minutes when Squills was first added there to a little over a minute, which is where it was when it was literary posts.

2. Squills hasn't been updated enough. Sometimes there wasn't a new post for a few days. The core group of posters for Squills are all busy with school, sports, and life, so it's very difficult for anyone to contribute enough time to make sure a couple new posts are made every day.

3. I'm noticing a lot more literary topics with zero comments than usual. Not sure if that's because of the character encoding issue or they're being ignored, but moving the recent ones to the front page should give them more attention.


Some other changes will be made. A link to the Squills blog will be added underneath Home in the overall header. Also, no topics will be shown in the My YWS section.
