Forum:Is there any wiki template that can implement a news or blog portal on the front page?

Hello, I was wondering if theres any simple modifications or templates that I could use to implement a news or blog portal on the front page which could be altered to be on the right side/left side/top and/or bottom of the page without much hassle. I've seen numerous wikis do this; although, I'm not sure how to implement or use it correctly as to have a box around it with colours inside and a fixed width/etc. vegeance 16:06, March 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Most wikis I've seen use the bloglist feature for news sections. For details see the bloglist feature help page. Sovq 16:12, March 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think BioShock Wiki has an example of what you want. It has a bloglist template here: Template:MP Bloglist with styling for it in the MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Wikia.cs. You can see it on the main page here: w:c:bioshock:BioShock Wiki. I can help you if you want more information about how the styling in the CSS pages works. The template is fluid width, so it will fit in whatever place you want it on your main page.
 * You could also try the version that is used on Dragon Age Wiki: Template:Portal/Component/News. That version is a bit more complicated, but its style might fit better, depending on what you are looking for. See Help:Portal for information about how that system works. ~ Gardimuer { ʈalk } 22:38, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
