New home page
Writing about web page http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/
The most obvious change today is the new homepage, I hope you agree that it looks great. It'll be changing again soon with some new graphics with a bit of luck too. Thanks go to Andy, John, Karen and Hannah.
As you can see, there is lots of great new content on the homepage, no longer are you restricted to just clicking to the most recent entries.
- Hot topics is back! This is a much better system than before (thanks to The King of Wales) which ranks entries according to a top secret algorithm that will hopefully show interesting entries on the homepage all the time without the spam
- Top tags are now shown on the homepage, allowing you to quickly see what people are writing about at the moment
- Most recent photos are also on the homepage now as long as you upload your images with "Show in collections" turned on.
- To let new bloggers be found more easily, there is a "New bloggers" link as well which shows entries from blogs created in the last 6 weeks
Let us know what you think, we welcome both praise and feedback on any problems :)

It's very exciting – for a moment I forgot I was in an open-plan office and started cooing at the computer screen!

I like the drop down menu going to other blogs you own. Very useful!

That's been there since forever… Maybe it didn't work in Internet Explorer before Andy's CSS fixage

Ooooh excellent! tho the fact it drew a giggle of excitement from me makes me think I need therapy. Or a life. Or most likely both.
Good work :)

Well done all! I'm glad we get our friend Hot Topics back, it's been missed.

imho the hot topics stay "hot" for too long. faster rotation would be more interesting but i guess i'm alone in thinking this. or am i?
