Design Issues

This format is meant to replace the articles blog site, not the main site, its meant to contain the next level of detail from the main site, but this format has some limitations too, it can only have 9 static tabs (less if the names are too long) and one required blog tab (which doesn't have to be displayed, or could be used as an announcement home page).   Each of the nine tabs can't be too long otherwise the readers will lose interest.

The tradeoff between the current articles blog vs this static tabs are:

 Issue  Blog  Static Tab
 Content     Unlimited posts,
 unlimited labels

9 tabs, each several pages in vertical length

 Navigation  Via Label  Via Tab
 Display

 Reverse Chronological Order (Newest first)  Sequential from top of tab to bottom (unless you add #links)
