I suggest adding a RSS or XML feed. Not that I mind visiting daily (this IS my current homepage... well one of them), but when I'm online during my lunch break at work, I usually use the RSS reader embedded in the Vista Sidebar to get info and visit sites. Not to mention that opening a page from "Feed Headlines" bypasses my homepage.
Just a thought.

P.S. There is no editing help.

mmm...I'm unfamiliar to the workings of RSS, but that's not to say i haven't heard of it, or seen the little icon on some pages.
if someone can tell me what it is, and how hard will it be to impliment it into the wiki?

As far as I understand it there is no inbuilt method for generating RSS feeds in MediaWiki. There are however add-ins available.
A quick google found Magpierss, which is in use in a few places, although I'm not sure how easy it will be to implement.

Some notes on how Mozilla use Magpierss, might be of help.
