Still think tho that the focus of the front page can be an extension of the Forum, rather than re-inventing the WoM wheel...theres no way we can match even remotely the level of information on that site. Id be giving prominance to things like "On the Couch" and "Post of the Month" rather than making it look tooo "WoM MkII"
I see what you're saying, but maybe this raises a bigger question about WOM and Saintsational...
Just putting this out there - what is the chance that one day WOM could evolve into being the front page of Saintsational, with something similar to my design, but with all the beef and depth of WOM?
I don't know if Peanut would be interested and whether he'd fancy doing it - he may feel it would be a loss of identity, which is fair enough - but would probably evolve into the most definitive and influential fan sites in Australia (and if bloody Everton can do it, surely we can too!).
Naturally, we'd use the front page as a channel to drive traffic to the forum, likewise, the forum would be a great place to generate a lot of content.
Whatever we have on that front page HAS to be up-to-date and accurate. Nothing looks worse on a sports site than out of date scores and information. People will just assume the Forum is similarly un-watched and unused
True. Think of all those hideous web pages made from 1998-2001 that were update every six months with Times New Roman font and garish backrounds....eek! No good.
But I think between an editorial team of five or six, we could update the front page at least two-three times a week

NB: Not trying to get ahead of myself - just tossing out some ideas.
For the moment, if battye says what we're aiming for in the short-term is a little more simple, then that's what we're doing. If it works, great. Then we could look at stepping it up into something bigger.
I'm just excited we're getting a front page
