[QUOTE="jdeg, post: 49701, member: 1"] Hrm, it comes down to the various ways people navigate and use the site. Perhaps if there were additional blog categories they could be linked to directly from the forums. They would actually look like forums from the forum homepage. One thing that bugs me from a usability standpoint is that when you click on "What's New" you only get forum posts. You have to click again to get blogs and click even more to get the gallery, product, and article comments. I would like to combine all this eventually, but of course that is easier said than done. Combining all of this would lead to a better user experience and would bring more activity to the other parts of the site. In webmaster speak this is called bounce rate. It is higher than it used to be, but that is also because we're getting a lot more hits then we used to get :) That happens naturally.
