Nationenblog was commissioned by the team at Ekstra Bladet, the leading Danish newspaper and online publication and is a fantastic hybrid of editorial, news and blogs as a major component of an online media suite.

The core of the frontpage is built around editorially selected articles shown in a dynamic, javascript driven slider alongside which sits custom blog rankings tool that can be configured to track the most popular blogs on the site over the last hour, day, week or month.

Further down the page there’s a live listing of every post across the site, complete with the avatar of the poster.
And as if that wasn’t enough information, alongside you can see all the latest comments too!

On the far right you can see current users online (which ties in nicely with the built in mailing and ‘friends’ system below, next to that are listed the newest bloggers (hence the default avatars) and on the far left there’s integration with nationen.tv.

And all the good stuff isn’t kept for the front page. As you can see above, we’ve integrated a comprehensive statistics package based on open source analytics software Piwik, a fully functionaly ‘Friends’ component and also a completely integrated internal messaging system that will notify users when they receive a message.
