[Robotgroup] Website Update for Feb 2008

[Robert Carter]

One more thing: earlier today I finally sat down to try to add some  
of the missing recent events to the front page (Maker Faire, for  
one). But-- does anyone know if it's possible to re-arrange the order  
in which posts appear? As with most blogging apps, WordPress is set  
up to put the most recent posts on top, but that means if I try to  
insert anything that occurred before First Night 2008 it's going to  
mess up the chronological order of the "Recent News" thing.

What do y'all think? does it matter if things appear out of order? Or  
should we forget about adding in those missing events from 2007 and  
focus on filling up the front page with new stuff in 2008?
