I have to build a "Hot topics this month feature" that needs to be dynamic and appear on the homepage of a website.
The only way that I can think of doing this dynamically is that every article page would write an entry to the database when a user lands on the article.
Then I could query this table over the past 30 days and pick the top 'x' number.
Don't get me wrong I could put some caching on this, but with more entries going into the database the longer this feature will take to load.

Hi Craig, I've created a package for this. I've came up with the idea while reading your post so thank you very much! :-)
