Hi Peter, Nice post. We are redeveloping our corporate site and are using WordPress so that we can easily populate and repurpose content. As a result we've created a mixed list of recent items on the home page - don't know if this fits your model, but it goes something like this: dd-mm-yyyy NEWS - Lorum ipsum blah blah blah dd-mm-yyyy NEWS - Lorum ipsum blah blah blah dd-mm-yyyy BLOG - Lorum ipsum blah blah blah dd-mm-yyyy JOB - Lorum ipsum blah blah blah dd-mm-yyyy NEWS - Lorum ipsum blah blah blah dd-mm-yyyy CLIENT - Lorum ipsum blah blah blah Seemed like a nice way of keeping things updated without cluttering the interface with loads of different elements. User sees a list of new stuff, Labels tell the users what kind of stuff each new thing is 1+ 1 bit of mental processing instead of User sees a list of new stuff, new stuff is type blah, User sees a list of new stuff, new stuff is type blah, User sees a list of new stuff, new stuff is type blah, 1+1(n) bits of mental processing. Does anyone have any examples to hand of other sites that use this pattern? If for no other reason than to convince my devs it's a good idea! Ta, Lou.
