Not sure about that. It assumes people are more interested in location than they are about content. People used to do "training", but now the range of available classes is increasing and not all training is the same, so the short description is essential, the location is not. The main issue seems to be that there are only 3 slots. We're wasting loads of space elsewhere on the home page and we should make better use of that. Or, as Magnus suggested way back, have the main page scroll down the page further. Things are pretty much the same with blogs. People writing one line blogs to force other people's names off the list. Maybe we need some kind of regionalisation, randomisation or click-thru oriented prioritisation. Good blogs stay higher, longer etc.. -- Simon Riggs 2ndQuadrant http://www.2ndQuadrant.com
