I really like the idea that you want to consolidate all these categories into a central hub. Like others said earlier, the landing page info is a bit too much. Perhaps you could try using shorter sentences and keep it to 1-2 paragraphs (1 being preferable).

An upvote system would be incredibly useful also. I don't really care about some of the news generated at the top and I'd like to look at what others found useful. Just my thoughts - good luck to ya!
