Top ten just because they are simple and quick-- you could also do interactive questions.

I'm not sure if it's "languishing" as such - I suspect all these things go in cycles. A couple of possibilities I can think of to revitalise the postings could be:- 1. Invite people to guest post about a particular issue. 2. Reproduce particularly thought provoking posts from blogs that are out there, simultaneously getting the issue to a wider audience and putting more traffic back in the direction of the original post. 3. Kind of a comnbination of 1. 2. above, ask people to submit posts for possible inclusion, perhaps on a given theme. As I say, these are just my thoughts. Please feel free to ignore if they are of no use! I have no idea how any of that would work technically, or if it would involve a huge amount of work for you guys. I do think that anything that gets the users of the site more involved in its content would have a positive effect though. I think this site is a great resource – it certainly has been to me.
