Popular Pages Get a Facelift
It seemed fitting that the Popular pages were taken off to the dry-cleaners over the past few weeks. They've been pressed, darned, de-odorized and freshened up. Furthermore, they've come back from the cleaners with an added extra - a brand new page called Blogs on the Rise.
This page highlights some of the new movers on the block who have been Faved the most in the past 24 hours. It puts the new "dogs on the plot" into the spotlight and gives us some new, fresh faces to admire. So, if this list shows some unknown blogs, take the time to check them out and meet the people behind them.
The Most Faved and Most Visited blog lists have also had a "once-over" and don fresher, user-friendly looking interfaces.
NB: If you have some of the Popular pages saved in your browser's Favourites/Bookmarks list then you will need to update them so that they work again.

That is a nice new feature, Stuart!
I was wondering if there was anything you could do about the ads on Blotanical. The Apple iPod ad is very annoying when the volume is up and it unexpectedly comes on. I don't care for talking ads. I'm also tired of seeing all of the flat stomach ads. They seem to be all over Blotanical and it really isn't very pleasant to look at. If you have the power to select ads, I'd love to see those removed.

Thanks for the info on the new popular page. I cannot click on these blogs and access them from this page. Has that been changed?

I am having the same problem as Linnie - unable to access any of the blogs on any of the new popular pages.

Robin - working on it. Cheers for the feedback.
Linnie/Jan - are you able to give me some more details on the errors you're receiving and/or which blogs you're trying to access? This would be helpful for trying to find the problem. Cheers.

Stuart, this is what I am getting when trying to access popular pages:

Jan, I think I've fixed it now. Do you want to give it a try and let me know if it's working for you? Cheers.

Stuart, the thumbnails on the popular pages are working now. Thanks for your help. I really like the new Blogs on the Rise page. It is a good way to find blogs I haven't seen before.
