For instance, today I've got a strong post about the teen TV show The O.C. - but it's not the top post. Above it is another post about The Strand - an online movie by one of the Blair Witch creators. This has a good chance of interesting OC fans. so that’s two posts for them to see. And because the OC fans now have to scroll to see the OC post, the third post, about British rock bands, comes into view. The reader is now some way down the home page, on a level with the categories and the recent posts in the left column. One approach I’m experimenting with is careful placement of posts.

It uses some sort of fuzzy logic to automatically list related content. Check it out on my blog. Oh, I also use a recent posts plugin, but place it in the sidebar instead.
