Hey Robyn , I found these blog requests we had in the pipeline on Asana, should these also be considered? I know the comment was only regarding the featured post and pagination, and I think the best solution is what is suggested in point 5, below.

Laura  we don't have endless budget so please work on the information I gave you and leave the rest off for now 

ps if there's anything relevant that speaks to the new brief, it can be considered but not sure if that's the case -maybe your point 5, but we want to keep this very light to see what Phil wants, its likely to mushroom anyhow so lets start small 

Robyn  – I'm pushing for the solution we suggested in point 5 to keep it light. But want to confirm I'm right (checking with David - he's out on lunch at the mo). 

In the meantime, I've done the mockup. 2 flows for either option.

No probs Laura I certainly was not sure and neither was Ian - I think we should share what we think is best and what is consistent with the rest of the site's behaviour. I had a quick look and it seems like this is the first time we have introduced a load more or pagination (?) If so, share both and give them the choice to pick but mention which is going to be quicker (assuming its a material difference) 

Hope that helps - I know its a super vague brief hence the quick prototype;  last year's chats will be long forgotten so some of those enhancements may still make their way through but best to restart and see what Phil and co throw our way. 

Laura thanks! I had a quick look at replacing pagination with a More button. I think we could figure it out, but I'd say let's leave that off the mockup for now. I'd rather surprise them with the added bonus if we get to it. Sound good?

I think the layout is exactly what Phil has in mind. 

Super! That makes sense! Yes it is the only instance of pagination on the site, so far. Let me chat with David  when he's back and get his take on whether the efforts will be vastly different and then we can gooi there way to make a choice! Thanks for reeling me in 😉 haha!

Laura  we've already got pagination active on the news section, so I'm suggesting we leave it off the prototype and if there's time, we just do it. 

Ian - The prototype is different from the live site. Currently, the website displays a featured post on every page. The request is to remove the featured post from page 2 onwards, meaning only the first page would have it - which is what is shown on the prototype and requested in this task :)

Oh wait, sorry I think I'm confused... 

I'm specifically talking about the "More" button - that's the bit that I think we should hold back. 

Ian can you quickly come meet me for two minutes, please? https://meet.google.com/xci-utop-frc

We're not going to go with the "load more" at this stage, too many unknowns.

Shall I share for us? Laura  xx

Yes please Robyn ! Tahnk you
