Blogs vs Forums

Featured blogs currently appear on the front page to try and encourage people to use the forums for their brief discussions instead. If you look at the front page you will also see that the forums are now above the blogs for the same reason.

Over the last few weeks we have noticed a trend amongst users to post one-off questions in their blog sections because they were appearing in a prominent position on the front page of the project site. Those sort of posts are more appropriate for the discussion forums. They still appear on the front page but it makes for better interaction.
