albagilaHong kong has been selected as “show on homepage” … but that particular highlight doesnt have an image attached, doesnt look too good … I think we should stick to selecting objects for the homepage highlights until we have images for the other types. Not sure who is in charge of this … but could you take care?

@Valentin: What do you think about showing the latest articles uploaded with a few lines of content instead of showing actions of people (someone who modified his profile or an article) on the front page?

yeah the hightlights are meant for that. i hope slobodan finds time to work on this soon. if not here are some words to put it into perspective: the edo homepage is not the big traffic hub that some of you might think it is. Edo is not about destination traffic. its about LONG TAIL: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/illustrating-the-long-tail that means most traffic won’t come via home but via GOOGLE. So even if your article would run through on the homepage very little traffic would come to it – at least for now. In the future think like 1-2 years that might change. And articles linked on home get huge traffic. By that time i am sure slobodan found some time

I think I got the point, as people will enter via google, they will not necessarily see the front page. I was thinking of the latest articles on the front page as an attraction point, something take evokes more interest. I already supposed that traffic on our page is not very strong yet.

they almost never see the frontpage. they will go straight to your article
and your point is right it is good to have it on the homepage. but not prio 1 good

Our earth.org site re-launch needs something a long these lines!!
@Valentin can you write that post on the blog about what we can expect from the new site for us non-techies? Me and Teresa can then work on perfecting the copy….:-)

had meeting with slobodan over homepage. really pushing hard to finalize it for the launch. we need unfortunatley to stop doing design iterations. i am aware not everybody will be satisfied… but launch is more important to me.
we will most likely have some kind of activity stream plus (maybe semi-) automatic rotation of the highlights coming directly from the might edo db

feature shouldn’t allow places without pictures though. guess not important enough at this point though.
