   I'm thinking that BC could morph into more into a blog news magazine site where posts of the day would be highlighted in different categories and subcategories. Maybe there could be a ticker tape style display of Blogs of the Day by categories/tags on the home page?
   
   Our BC home page would be very much like a newpaper's or news magazine's home page and internal pages could contain a selection of excerpts of posts from members' blogs.
   
   What I mean by directory categories/subcategories/tags modules
   I'd like to see the ability for reader's entering the site to design their own BC profile magazine page by clicking modules (Directory categories and sub-categories) onto their pages.
   
   I'm not a techy. What I was thinking is that readers could click a module for example like News or Sports and that category box would appear. Then they could click to open it and there would be filters inside they could use like News - USA or News - World or Sports - USA or Sports - World. The titles displayed there would be those of the latest BC posts in those directory categories subcategories and/or tags. The reader could hover over the links and read an excerpt and/or click the links to read them. When they were done in any given category/subcategory/tag they could click to close the module and it would collaspe and they could do another one for another category or subcategory or tag.
   
   I'm thinking a continual display of post titles being published from the blogs in selected categories/subcategories could be provided so the reader can hover over one and see an excerpt of about 25 words or so and then click through if they wish to read the full post.
