I would like your input on this.  When Jeff did the links for me when I couldn't get the software to work, there were several people who said they liked having the majority of the links off the front page.  Yesterday there were a couple people who said they didn't like this.  After doing them both ways, I would like your input as to how you would prefer them to be done.

Please vote once for either option 1,2 or 3 as to whether you want them on the front page or not.

Then, please vote for option 4 or 5 as to whether you like them formatted or not formatted like the day Jeff did them the day he posted them for me.

Thank you for your input.

I see the pros and cons in each way; if you put the links "after the jump", it leaves more room on the front page for articles; if you leave everything on the front page, it's only one-click to any article you need.

My vote is: whatever is easiest for you.  I think my very minor preference is the way you've traditionally been doing it, but that may only be because I'm used to it.

Either way, keep up the great work, and as always, it's much appreciated.

well, you can never please everyone - that much I've learned

I prefer them broken out for a few reasons:

1. they take up less space
2. so as a result the articles below them don't get pushed down so far

Bob and I are looking into solutions on how to make this process more automated (without losing FLCeltsFan's personal touch) - perhaps something that will be implemented over the summer.  No promises, but we'll keep you informed.

Since Jeff is the head honcho, I will go with his preference.  He is right, you can't please everyone.  So sorry to those who like them all on the front page but it is more practical for the blog to split them up.
