Looks like Steam had unveiled a new homepage with some nice, new functionality:

http://store.steampowered.com/about/newstore

QuoteYour Home Page The Steam Discovery Update starts with the new, smarter Home page, which introduces a variety of ways for you to explore the over 3,700 titles now available on Steam.

Specifically, the new features at your disposal from the Home page include personalized recommendations based on your gameplay, reviews from your favorite community Curators, and powerful new search and discovery tools.

To further personalize your Steam shopping experience, many areas are customizable and automatically filter out the products that you have already bought and the titles you have indicated you aren't interested in.

I particularly like this idea:

QuoteSteam Curators Steam Curators are individuals, organizations, and groups that publish reviews and recommendations in a public forum on Steam.

Following a few Steam Curators is another way to discover and learn about new products. Their picks show up on your home page as well as in your community activity feed, where you can comment and rate those recommendations.

Become a taste maker yourself. Are you an expert in what makes a really good 2D Platformer? Or, maybe you're really in to Survival Horror games and want to help others find the best. It's easy with Steam Curators. Anyone can be a Steam Curator by simply making some recommendations via a Steam Community Group.

Time for a Groghead Curator, perhaps?  ;)

Did they add anything so you can change the UI...like increase the font size??

I wish they would allow better customization.  I really don't like the whole "recommended for you" bit cluttering up my page.  I bought Poker Night 2 from GG because it was only $1 and now Steam thinks I just luurrvve card games and wacky comedy so everything they shove at me on the recommended page is stuff that annoys the shit out of me like Magic the Gathering and stupid retro 8-bit comedy themed platformers or RPGs
