This layout seems popular (pinterest, their new food site they bought, tumblr, etc) but I really, really do not like it. With this, how can I tell if a submission is just a picture or an article with a picture as a representation. For example, I see a submission with a title and the pic is an awkward penguin. I can read the text so I don't have to click through to see it bigger. That's good. I see another submission: "Write Gambling Software, Go to Prison" and the pic (same size as the awkward penguin) is a sad looking man looking out a window with raindrops on it. How do I know I should click through to get to an article?
