SheepishPatio 2nd Anniversary Feedback and Meta Chat

I still think the best idea I have about this place is the one I posted in Community Feedback, so I'll copy and paste it here, I guess. Filed under "upcoming features", perhaps?
Just remove it if you feel like you've heard it enought times, he-he.

I've been having one major, major suggestion which I hope at least someone will support: highlight the blogs.
Arguably, most interesting stuff has been posted in blogs. Granted, there's not much of it, but still, there is Lume's very own guid to XMPP and another user's music album (which I've actually ended up buying). Plus several other users' thoughts which I've found rather interesting.
Blogs are an outlet of creativity and original content, and nothing defines site as much as an original content. Seeing all the things I've just mentioned is what prompted me to make a blog post of my own. So I propose to highlight blogs on the homepage somehow, rather than it being a small unnoticable button among other on the menu. Hopefully, this will push more users into making - and sharing - their own stories, music, thoughts, guides to underground tech and whatever else. This is really the most interesting portion of the site in my opinion, however tiny it is right now.
Blogs also suffer that there's pretty much no reason to bump them, so once they've sunk from the top - they are pretty much down there forever with no one to discover them. They are not a discussion, and therefore the are perpetually at the bottom.
They should be treated like kind of a showcase instead, put up at the forefront of your store, so to say. They should be all prettied up and given a huge banner that says to end user: this is we, this is our stuff.
And - rather obviously, I think - regular tech updates should definitely be moved somewhere else along the way. Those make up most of the blog posts right now, but, I think, those are... a genre of their own.
