Right. I thought about putting the tip (etc.) sections on the top
too, but then I felt pressured to shorten them so the links
aren't too far away and that felt wrong.
This week's turned out pretty good though, I'm happy with this
length and order
I guess forum summaries are most interesting if there is:
Right. Sometimes that is hard to tell though - long threads have
often seemed significant, but ended up going nowhere in the past.
But that's also the difference between significant threads and
major changes - the threads are just talk, the major changes are
based on some concrete step.
If a forum announcement acts as an "official blog news
announcement" then a snippet ought to be present on the front
page and in the "This Week in D", with a "read more" link?
The subject of announce posts is often pretty good IMO. I haven't
felt the need to summarize them much.
Anyway, keep up the good work. I like where you are going with
this! :-)
thanks
