Not to be the PITA that I so often am, but I'd like this better if there was a choice about how to read and a choice about how to display. That is to say, people should be able to read their reading page however they want, and I should be able to display my display page that way too. (This is also my philosophy re the arbitrary cut tag thing--if you want everything on your f-page to be 5 paras or less I think that it should be--and it shouldn't have to display that way on my front journal page for that to happen?) idk. I like having the most recent things be on top in my journal and on my reading page, but for journals that are there to present x piece of fiction, having the oldest things be first would be convenient for new or casual readers, whereas having the newest things be first would be convenient for people who are keeping up/active contributors to shared worlds. this is probably confusing; i am totally sleep dep. :) but if I were running my thing on DW code, and we're talking wishlist, I know one thing I'd like to have is the ability for someone reading the front page to toggle the view so they could either start at the beginning or start at the end. **************************************************************** Azalais Aranxta (~malfoy) ataniell93 on LiveJournal and Vox http://groups.yahoo.com/group/malfoymadness "I know the true world, and you know I do.
