Description Max 2015-02-12 19:48:51 CET

Description of problem:
Currently the blog is at the very least two clicks away from mageia.org homepage (and that's if you're looking for it).
The purpose of the blog is to inform the Mageia community and world at large about Mageia. What is happening, what is planned, and even little bits about who we are and how we think/work.
That should be one of two main aspects that a visitor sees when they come to the homepage (the other is the Download page).


Reproducible:

Max can you please give a more concrete suggestion where to put the link(s)?

I would put the blog on the homepage.
The way it is now, the landing page is download-centric, which is fine.
But all the download information is justified left. How about having an iframe on the right with the blog on it.
Not the entire blog, perhaps the first paragraph of the latest 3 posts, and just titles from there.
That way clicking a post will take you directly to that post, and clicking the title of the iframe will take you to blog.mageia.

Max, can you please check our front page now?

I didn't fully followed your suggestion as it would brake design. But the infrastructure (18n and simplepie) is ready for such a change.

Just reopen if you're not satisfied please.

I still think that the main blog needs to be reachable from the home page.
Maybe something like this:

Latest news from our <a href="https://blog.mageia.org">blog</a>: <a href="link/to/[Top blog post]">[Top blog post]</a> | [Top blog post date]

Never mind, I was on a touch screen and I didn't realize it IS a link.
