Just thought I'd announce a pretty interesting project that has just gone live.

Neatorama.com has a brand new, powerful feature called the Upcoming Queue. Neatorama does now and has always run on the WordPress blogging platform. Until now, only a handful of trusted authors/editors have been able to add neat blog posts to the Neatorama front page.

But in recent months, Alex, the site's creator and proprietor, had an itch to allow all of the site's members contribute their own blog posts to the site. So he approached Sift Partners about scratching that itch with Varo CMS, the software platform that powers VideoSift.

Over the course of a couple of months, a special version of Varo CMS has been painstakingly customized to work hand-in-hand with the existing WordPress blog. After all our efforts, the Upcoming Queue is now live for everyone to enjoy.

It will be of particular interest to any bloggers who want to garner a little attention for themselves because you are allowed to add posts that link back to your own blog. So if you have any neat blog posts you'd like to share at Neatorama, or if you just want to check out Varo CMS powering the new system, head on over to http://www.neatorama.com/upcoming and give it the old once over.

If you do give it a looksee, please let us know what you think.

[edit]
This just in: I just saw the announcement post and apparently the top submitter of February will win a free iPod Touch. Nice.
