More News
A few months ago we added News Departments to the WordPress.com front page and I promised there would be “a new place where you can browse fresh, hot content in any department you like”. Well, it’s here.
Actually we deployed the new “More »” link quietly last week just to see how many visitors would notice and click: hundreds per day. That means a lot of people are missing out on all the fun!
The News Page lets you browse recently popular posts in a bunch of categories and we will be finding more ways to help you browse as we think of them.

Good, outstanding. Now what you need to do is add a page where people can see all the different categories, or at least a randomly rotating selection. I’ve already noticed that the News page has ensured that all of the Top Posts are from those few limited categories. This isn’t good for the global conversation.

If you want to keep it quiet, you need to be less obvious! I saw the “more” link very early on. Wondered when you would announce it.
I think some of us are still struggling with the category/tag situation. Many of my links were tag related as in “see all (tag) posts” . Then the tags were renamed categories and many of my links failed. Redo. Now they work either way, but still I have lots of categories that the converter won’t see so they have to be manually converted.
Just the same, the tag/category change and the “more>>” link will help broaden our reach. You guys do good work.
Thanks

Glad you posted this. That’s a teeny little “more” link, and I did not notice. I seriously love the News Page!! I can view posts on “Science” and “Mysticism”, or “Music” and “Spirituality”, for instance, all in one place. Thank you very much.

I like the expansion and I found the link a few days ago. I would like to suggest that “Personal Development” is a department that ought to be considered for addition. Thanks for all your work. 🙂

I didn’t even notice it was there. When going to the main page I thought, now why would only one blog entry make the news page per category? One for health, one for politics, etc. I guess not seeing the “more” link kept me in the dark about more news. Oops!!

Perhaps though it should be divided by language like botd so we foreign bloggers dont feel rejected. Is there any future plans about that?

Thanks but is there any way that users can customise the news page – eg. i don’t really care about US based sports and that seems to be mostly in the sports section – nice if we could locaise things down to country level.
