This is a common feature request, but users don’t always want to use it in the manner vendors expect.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://gadgetopia.com/post/6102"><P>Sure, often users want content to appear at a certain time, then disappear at another time.  However, I’ve found another scenario that’s just as common: users want to “swap” one content block with another at a certain time.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://gadgetopia.com/post/6102"><P>Consider an intranet.  The home page has a “lead story.”  This is a single story, in a certain spot on the home page.  The editor of this intranet wants to queue up a bunch of stories to rotate in and out  of this spot, so at a certain time, Story A disappears and Story B takes its place.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://gadgetopia.com/post/6102"><P>This is tricky.  Sure, Story A is expiring, and Story B is scheduled.  But what you really want to do here is tell the template, “Use a different piece of content at a certain time.”</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/1DAAF0AD-79D8-404E-91E1-94023B0EB91B/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
