Hi Tom. I don't think it's anything to do with the actual blog format as such. The simple idea of jernal style long news posts in sequence is absolutely fine, and there are a number of sites who's blogs I regularly check simply because I'm interested in what the person in question has to say.

Hi Mike, Actually, it does. Blogs do tend to be less accessible simply because there often is a lot of content and not many ways to skip passed the stuff you don't want to read and get to the stuff you do want to read. The only way I've managed to solve that issue is on Linux pressing the
