Nice addition, but basing it on high star ratings seems flawed. Currently I've seen few ratings for the views/comments I have in blogs, which are a much better indicator of quality.It creates an unfavourable post-to-reward ratio too, for example If someone makes their first blog and gets a single 5 star rating that's a 5 star average over all their work, currently a 5 star rating would be a +0.046 in my average (with favourable rounding). Also of course since this works on average across blogs it's not featured blogs but featured users who make blogs, which I suppose is what you are going for highlight notable forum personalities. It is a good idea, just from the perspective of someone who works with ratings the way you are featuring things seems sub-optimal.

To the best of my understand only the initial set of featured blogs were picked based off of ratings. Future additions won't necessarily be based off of rating.


Clicking 'Featured Blogs' takes you to the list, which is based on ratings, while the sidebar lists recent blogs of high-rated users. I'll be favouring the curated Spotlight, as long as it still covers blogs, to provide the more interesting recent blogs.

Edit: that sounds more negative than it should, rather I'm more interested in interesting blogs of the moment than featured users.

Nothing to do with the blogs direct but I just noticed a problem when I tried to customize my sidebar:
I can´t move the section blocks, the cross appears when hovering over a block but I can´t click it or it is like a normal cursor and it marks the text.
Didn´t want to make a new thread in feedback about it, perhaps somebody can tell me if I do something wrong or a small error accured.

The Featured Blogs list does indeed take you to a list, which is sorted by ratings rather than defined by ratings. Blogs are manually added to the featured blogs list and the initial set of blogs were based on the top rated blogs at the time (and were then processed).

I used to play another game that had a community forum like TL. They had a special section for the old boys club in which the rest of us couldn't post. I recommend this for TL, because then you won't have to put up with the rest of us ordinary people, and also we will be free from being rated/judged/overly moderated.

I look forward to seeing improvements, in its current state sorting by ratings will effectively define blogs by rating, people rarely look at the second page of results. As I say implicit feedback such as views and comments is usually more telling of interest, and should be considered when you make changes

It's called the Broodwar section.

On a more serious note, I'd suggest you post this on Website Feedback if you so wish. .

I really dislike it, I think it's an unecessary step in the "upvote direction". Plus it starts to make the left sidebar way too long (and I have a lot of hidden sections).
That being said, I can work around this which is pretty nice.

Myself from the Website Fedback now closed thread.
Just wanted to ask if it'd be possible to customize blogs in the "customize sidebar" options ?

Why do you say on a more serious note ? This is a perfect description of the BW forums.

I don't really think this helps anyone. I read far more great "one-off" blogs than I do from people who blog all the time. And the number of views/replies in the thread is a good indicator of a popular blog.

So when I click on the big section header that says: "Blogs" will I still be seeing all the blogs in order of last post?

looking through the entire featured blog list im kinda worried. most of the bloggers there are famous people who have blogged once or twice total and gotten 5 stars (sometimes purely on their name). it seems like the amount of 'content' in the featured blogging section wont exactly be very big even with so many names.

Actually on second thought, I'm not sure how I feel about featured blogs. May run into the issue of the rest of the blogs not being read because people just want to read "Featured" blogs.

Actually nvm, people only read blogs to see girl blogs.

Will featured bloggers keep their featured status indefinitely? Of course, any features blogger who just makes a total ass of themselves ought to have that privilege revoked, but are there other circumstances in which featured status will be removed? If there is, I hope it's not by blog ranking, because malicious people could use 1-star blog bombing as a really effective tool of getting anyone off the list.

What criteria do you use when judging the de-featuring of a given blogger?
