[Boston-editorial] new feature from philly...

[Pete Stidman]

The whole Summary thing is something that we are
repairing on the new website.  

There is no need for a summary and as a collective we
have not used summaries for center column articles in
a long long time

What we use is the lead paragraph or two or three,
roughly enough to match the picture.  We also have an
agreement in place that anyone who centers an article
should make every possible attempt to have a graphic
pr photo with the story, appearing on our front page
with the article.  (There's a check box by where you
add images) for some mysterious reason it doens't work
with some images, in that case folks should look for
alternative images or play with it in photoshop.  

THis is all in the interest of keeping the site
looking good and interesting.  

This isn't to single anyone out either.  just info for
y'all newbies.
