We have added a new component to the Blogs door. The "Hot Blog Posts" element replaces the "New Blog Posts" view.
We wanted to expose the blog posts that are the most active with user comments. So take a look at the "Hot Blog Posts" section and see what other members are talking about.

one of my blog posts made it into the hot posts listing.
it actually is a great idea, pushes the idea of using the blogs better.
maybe add to the front page of the site a "Hot Blogs" link.
to further promote them.
hmm just went back to Blogs door..

Yeah, I noticed the "no posts" message this morning. Will be checking that out.
As for the front door, we are planning to more actively promote blogs throughout the site. We want to make sure that people who blog with us are recognized for their efforts.

was working for a while.
so something crashed the script.
it'll be in the error logs. :)
do tell what are you plotting to do to promote the blogs?
or is it top secret, for those on the inside only?

It isn't any one thing, really. We just want to better promote blogs in the areas that get a lot of other traffic.
So you will see blogs more on the front door of the site and in newsletters.
We're also playing around with other ways of promoting the content in blogs.
Our first effort is called "On the Soapbox" where we recruit a member to get on their soapbox and rant/discuss about a technical topic of their choosing. We, then, promote their soapbox in various places on the site and in our newsletters.
Apotheon is our first Soapboxer. And even though the promos don't launch until tomorrow, you can get a sneak peek at his post here:
