I was thinking something similar. Shouldn't all new stories go onto the blog? And once we figure out how to update this live from the feed, I'd love to split the right side into three areas, one for the most recent blog posts, another for the most recent extensions and another for the most recent templates. So in a small space we can rotate headline from the blog, as well as templates, extensions, etc. -Rob > We keep going to post news also on the homepage *and* get more blog posts. > > Another thing: > Put the x recent headlines directly between nav bar and "I want to learn > more ...".
