Site developement progress and some FAQ stuff

On the articles on the home page, you click on continue at the bottom, and when it takes you to the article, you need to click on it again for the full article. Is there a reason for this or could you just open the full article after the first click. Love the new site by the way. Just making a suggestion to help out. Thanks!
The first time you click continue, it opens a page that allows you to comment on the article. If you skipped that part of the process, there'd be no way to comment on anything on the News Board. I assume that's the logic behind the two clicks being necessary since I can't see any other way to comment on those posts without the first landing page.
