As I recall, under a previous design of the site, the YLF partner links were at the bottom of the blog, and I always clicked through from there when I was shopping online. I think the current design looks fantastic, but I worry that the partner links are now more hidden. (I'm fairly devout about such things, and I admit that even I sometimes forget to use those links when shopping, because I can't see them as easily.)
What about putting a single "Partners" button on both the blog and the forum pages, so that anyone inclined to shop can get to the list with an easy, single click? I know that technically the "Finds" tab provides the same thing, it just seems like a button would bring more attention to the option of shopping elsewhere in a way that still supports YLF. Not sure I'm being clear -- feel free to tell me if I'm not.
