<p>In <a href="https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1066/public-sphere-statistical-analyses">another recent meta question</a> it has been suggested that the <strong><a href="http://stats.blogoverflow.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">community blog</a></strong> be used as a place for some more in-depth discussion and exposition of some topics.</p>

<p>This brings up the following issue for me. Some very nice work is happening on the blog, but I feel that it is not prominently advertised enough on the main site. In particular, once a user logs in, I believe the only place to access the blog directly is via a link hidden on the bottom navigation bar. This makes it seem to be quite an afterthought.</p>

<p>So, the questions I want to raise for discussion are:</p>

<ol>
<li><strong>Should we find a way to make the blog more visible from the main page?</strong> The purpose of doing so would be to hopefully drive more traffic there, encourage additional contributions, and get the current contributors more recognition for the effort they are putting in.</li>
<li><strong>What would be our options in terms of design in making the blog more prominent?</strong> I suspect the page design is fairly heavily constrained by SE, but I don't know in what ways or by how much. I suspect a moderator or SE employee may have to answer this part.</li>
</ol>

<p>I personally think there are ways that we can integrate the blog more tightly with the main site and, in doing so, create added value for all.</p>
