    I went there but don't see the point in it if we have "Home."

    Or, was the new page added so that we can easily navigate through old/new articles. If that was the case, then wow, great addition!

    I saw that, at the very bottom, I did.

    Who customized it, rather?

    Like FMB said, it's just a mod. What do you mean?

    Nevermind, making a fool of myself.

    Does it automatically update?

    Why am I being so dumb today?

    Yeah, the homepage will be revamped in the future. We are either going to completely remove the whole WordPress blog, or move it to its own tab entitled "Blog". If we keep it, but on its own tab, it will no longer be used for articles. It would be used for site news maybe, personal entries from notable characters, interviews, etc. It will actually be a "Blog" rather than a place for us to post articles.

    The homepage will be an entrance to our site (NOT a vBAdvanced-like portal) explaining a bit about what we do, what resources we offer, some of the latest info, etc. It's going to be a good change. :)

    That articles mod is such a good lookin' and simple mod. It can easily become a homepage (just redirect the 'home' url to that page, right?) from what I can see.

    Can you add / show pics within the article blocks?

    Hi Arny,

    Regarding the pictures, I'm not sure what you mean. If you mean have a little thumbnail displayed on the main Articles Index, then yes. But I don't think you can choose which image from that article you want use. It automatically uses the first one in the post, I *think*.

    Yes, I meant a thumbnail for each article on that main article page. Also, can you turn that into a two-column deal so that you can see a little more of the "Most Read Articles" block and not just the first 3 to 5 words of the title?
