Which probably explains why I'm one of the only ones that uses the function....
For unit backgrounds: I think having a short statement of background about the unit is a good thing, enough to get new people interested but not so much that it overwhelms. It would be relatively simple to have a more expanded section elsewhere on the site.
Not to be pedantic or dismissive, but I think well-edited background descriptions are important, too, and they can (for better or for worse!) make a big impact in the first impression. Perhaps there might be some community support to help with a few of these less-core things? Editing paragraphs is quite straightforwards.
For the pictures: perhaps there are one or two community members on here who have adequate picture set-ups to take sprue and painted shots? That way you can make sure the quality is there, and user submissions can go in a dedicated galley. If people are going to be taking work-in-progress shots anyways, maybe it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to do a few extras? I definitely think that good pictures of the product are essential in the end, though. At the moment, it's a bit hard to see what VM miniatures are like because there aren't even so many blogs with them.
