Which part were you clicking on? For most of the site you can click on
the "read more" links and that seems to work. For the box on the top
left of the front page, click on the headline inside the picture, and
that takes you to the main article.

Be sure to check out the sections in the community section too.
Especially the forums, community blogs, and events. The seem to keep
their "Distribution News" updated pretty frequently (under the
Distribution Central menu) which is pretty helpful.

They're still in a fairly young state, so this would be a good time to
make a suggestion through the "contact" link in the footer. I made a
suggestion the other day and saw it implemented two days later.
