As a general FYI, I'm taking a slightly different tact with pinned entries "Pinned to main" entries in our updated internal blogs will show up as popup notices on the front page separate from the other entries. They will be used to inform users of planned outages, etc and will be listed separately from the other entries. Among our user base of several thousand bloggers, I haven't heard of any one clammering for the ability to pin posts to the tops of their own blog pages. > >> *2* Shareable posts.

Planet aggregation seems like a much better / more elegant approach. - James
