I am in the process of updating the 'ThisDay' block to include options to display the day's date as well as Marriages. So I started to think about what other changes or block additions could be useful. So this is my list so far (in no particular order):
  • the top x Surnames in the TNG database
  • the top x First Letter of surnames in the TNG database.
  • A small form to Show top [entered #]Surnames ordered by occurrence
  • A link to Show all surnames (sorted alphabetically)
  • A "Show surnames starting with: [no surname] A|B|C|D| .... |X|Y|Z"
  • A direct TNG name search
  • Display a specific photo from your TNG photos (Webmaster picks instead of Random.)
  • A Statistics Block

Basically, data that you can see on my home page here at VoigtWorld. But in block form. The block(s) could then be used as a center block, or added to the upcoming Content module (which can assemble data from several blocks into one page) or even used for side blocks.

I am interested in your suggestions. Do any of these interesting to you? Are there other blocks, or changes to the existing 'RandomPhoto', 'ThisDay', or 'WhatsNew' that you would like to see?

Hi Wendel,

As a one namer, a block I would be interested in would be a "most wanted". I had been considering using pagesetter to provide a sideblock link but if it could be incorporated in pnTng we would only need to select person ID's.
