Hi Tom and Kat,

Here are what Theo and I need in order to keep the content we add to the blog organised and manageable for the reader. It's all very basic stuff and I'm sure not a problem to integrate into whatever you had planned.

We need the blog to be able to handle three different types of posts:

1. Feature posts (long could be up 1500 words long)
2. Regular posts (about 500 words)
3. Updates (from WGs and projects) - very brief

* The first thing you should see when you go on blog.okfn.org are the most recent featured posts and its accompanying image (we always try to make sure our feature posts have images)
* Updates should go along the sides/bottom
* Regular posts should be displayed below the main featured posts, but still quite prominently
* When a new feature post comes along, the old feature post should drop down to become a regular post

- I think the Public Domain Review has done quite a good job layout wise. The carousel might work well for main blog feature posts

Give me a shout if anything is unclear (sam.leon@okfn.org)
