New features: Page Two, links, and a new view for comments

Buffered Bike Lane with a bike symbol and arrow pointing forward

Just want to point out a few new ways to view content here on BikePortland.

As you may have noticed, I’ve started a new section called, “Page Two”. I’ve created Page Two because I come across a lot of information and I simply don’t have time to develop into larger, finished stories.

Page Two stories will be less polished, might be simply rehashed press releases, and they will sometimes be precursors to larger stories I’m working on for the Front Page.
