My local Lojban group usually produces something postable and interesting every couple of weeks or so, and there are also blogs in and about Lojban which I could reproduce with copy-and-paste, as well as a lot of Nicholas Gurewitch cartoons I've translated, and of course the podcast when I get it started again. The ideal solution would be to embed the Lojban Livejournal community on the homepage. Currently it's so out-of-the-way it's unlikely to be found by many people. We also have a lot of tiny blogs and podcasts languishing completely unseen. I subscribe to all of them, and would love to take responsibility for either syndicating them to one main blog, or copying and pasting posts from them into it on a regular basis. The top page of the main domain needs a main consolidated blog, to show newcomers that we have an active community, to show oldcomers that activity hasn't died, to show nevercomers that they should have this as a topic at their science fiction conventions or academic conlang conferences, to introduce us to each other, and to get all the neat output of Lojban on display in one digest. I don't believe there is a more important welcome wagon. I know Javascript doesn't work in this wiki. Other methods of embedding are found here: http://community.livejournal.com/howto/34867.html Do you agree, and is it possible? I'd like to get input on how I make it look. For instance, whether to put it above, or below, the existing content. What do you think? -epkat
