I think the portal concept has overstayed its welcome. It was bringing in some money, but in recent months it's dropped off considerably. So the time has come to reclaim the front page.

The content on the page is pretty dynamic. The five recommended books in the Bookshelf are taken directly from the post in Books and Literature (http://www.werewolf.com/vb/showthread.php?t=830). The Spotlight mirrors the first post in our Spotlight (http://www.werewolf.com/vb/showthread.php?t=868) thread. Each of these will be updated as we add books.

The Featured Image will point to any given artwork post that the admins feel is something worth showcasing. Most often, it will point to the latest contest winner, if that contest revolves around art.

The Forum Jump is generated automatically by the site, and the Message of the Moment is just code that picks a random quote out of a list every time you refresh the page.

The link to the portal site remains as a sponsor.

all sounds good, chriz.

but maybe leave some space for the products section...even if the revenue generated has dropped off.

at least it would help you with expenses maintaining the site and heck, if there was a bit of profit for you yourself and the others involved in developing and looking after werewolf.com, seems all to the good in my opinion.
