Hey everybody, Kyle R here. So me and a few of the other admins have been talking a little about turning The Outstanding Blog of The Week into a main attraction for the site called Featured Blogs of The Week. Now what we would do is simply choose a few of the best blogs of the week (articles and videos) and put them at the top of the page for all to see. Articles and videos would probably be split into to two categories, Featured articles and vids. So really there's not much different from what we're doing right now with the TOBoTW, except for one thing: For the video blog categorie we want a rotator like the ones TGWTG and other sites have.


Now for sometime now we've been trying to get one but to no avail. We believe it is possible to have one on the site but some of the technical know how is simply not there. So we're asking any of you who might have some knowledge about these types of things to help us out. Even any little bit of advice would help. For more detail, talk to Fusionater.

Thanks for the bump Jason, and I'll send the link to Fusionater since he's the one who's been working on getting this.

Well it works, so that's good. Question is now what do we put into it:P


That and how many spaces does it hold?

The plan is to have some kind of featured blogs decision made every week., than put it there.

It can hold 10.

Excellent. The only other problem I can immediately think of is what pictures to use. Though since we all have logos I doubt it'll be too much of a problem (though I might redesign mine to fit if needs come). Failing that if someone does get in the rotater could they supply their own image (like if I got in with a Simpsons blog, can I use a picture of the Simpsons?)
