Brian - is there a way to 'shape' the discussion board so that a small window area could run a series of "factoids" kind of like a banner ad or a billboard. Here is my reasoning. This site now has SO MUCH information on it, that important pieces may be lost to all but the most persistant surfers.

What if you sent all your "regulars", the folks who have been here a while, out to the blog pages and have them select the TOP 50 tips for site users. It seems we all repeat ourselves and each other so much each time a new person signs in. Perhaps a revolving billboard window could run those TOP 50 tips and save some of the repitition and deliver really important factoids, like you ones you are proposing here to all visitors.

The revolving billboard could have links on it that allowed a curious visitor to click on a message and be taken straight to that section of the web site for more detail. The regulars here would soon learn the numbers of tips they want a particular person to see and recommend it to them. "Welcome Linda, be sure to visit the XXX board and read clip number 37. It really fits your situation"..... etc. A quick and accurate way to deliver precise, articulate and appropriate advice with a mouse click.

Just a techno thought. Tom
