Greetings,

It's a new week here at Xomba and that means new articles on the front page.

First up, be sure to check out the new Xomba Spotlight.
Our contest winners this round have written some intriguing articles.

Congratulations goes out to the following Spotlight winners:

Mia Northwest


Kjhack


Ken Korczak


Aidenofthetower

Don't forget about our four new Xomba Features. We have an all new Bum Review of Incredible Hulk.

Gas prices got you down? James Raia puts you in the driver seats of this years best economy cars. Sorry guys, the Hummer did not make the list.

Jessica talks about the lost children and the struggle to stay alive in the forgotten African country of Sudan.

Summer is here and it's time to throw up some veggies on the grill. Oh wait, unless you like Bar B Que. Greg reveals everything about this secretive summer tradition.

We've recently updated our help section. This should include all the features that are currently available to you on Xomba. We should be adding the final help guide this week which will explain how to post images on your bytes/blurbs.

Next week we'll be voting for the name of the purple Xomba alien. Get your requests into us ASAP.

Take care,

Nick and Jeremy

Congrats to the front-page winners!

Speaking of featured work, I've noticed a few people signing their 'bytes as 'Xomba featured writer.' Can a category listing or something be created that identifies who the featured writers are, their categories, etc.? I'm probably not the only xombie who'd like to know who these writers are.

We have tagged all of the articles so that you can view them all on one page. Here it is:

Thanks, good to know. Maybe eventually they could have their own link under Categories or somewhere.

There is a link on the front page to view all of the past featured articles but in the redesign we will make that be more prominent.

but I rarely go to the Xomba home page. I have the page for my xombytes bookmarked and so go straight to that (though I have to keep changing the URL so it reflects the newest page... for some reason clicking on 'my xombytes' takes me to the first [oldest] page of 'bytes).

Or I go to a bookmark for Recent Xombyes.

We never had anything new on the front page before so I'm not surprised you never went to the front page. This is the main reason we started this program. We want to give everyone a reason to go to the front page. Just know that every Monday and Thursday we will be adding new articles to the front page.

we have a front page?

Oh man, how did Khjack get on it?

I need to really start paying attention at our morning meetings.

HA HA HA

The recent Xombyte pages on profiles seem to be screwy.

Add it to the list.

I was very pleased to see my article on the front page. There are many great writers on this site from which to choose, so it was indeed an honor.

Congratulations to Mia, Ken, and Aidenofthetower. Excellent writing all! :)

I admit that I don't look at the front page either. I briefly glance at it but don't take the time to actually read it.
