good question. David Kessler might be able to jump in since we've been talking about it offlist. The blog started as a diary format for text. But what if I dont see my video work as a linear narrative where old posts gets buried under August 2006. The fact that i made a video in August 2006 is irrelevant to how I really feel about it. Categories might be a better way to see some video projects. so how can I format my front page based on highlighting different categories? again, lets look at http://colombiamigrationproject.net/ (which s html since peter couldnt easilydo this with a blog) maria projects is not times based but based on geography. she did videos in Colombia and NYC...and wants to play them off each other. much different from the journal/diary format. The same is true for our videoblog: http://ryanishungry.com This is why I got excited about the "related video" plugin that Charles built. When we do a video about Composting, I want all our compost videos to show up....not be buried in the archive just because they are "older". As a visual creator, I want to arrange my blog visually and non-linearly. I think right now, WP, and blogger, and Tumblr all follow the "one post after another" format that works so well for text blogs.
