OK, so I've told josiah the first time i saw the revamped chattablogs site and told him I didn't like it... I still don't. One thing I hate about it is it displays the most recent entries. Therefore it favors people who blog extensively mainly Roe and a few other people who I guess have jobs where they aren't limited to simply yahoo. For instance Clifton, not sure who you are, don't know if I know you, don't even think I've read your blog, and no offense or anything, but Clifton's is referenced four times on the chattablogs because he has posted four blogs today. Well say joe shmoe stumbles across chattablogs looking for a certain blogger, if that blogger's blog is not on that first site they may not have the knowledge to go deeper and search. The old site had everyone's blog listed on the side leaving the middle of the page for interesting news and updates about the site. The old way allowed for you to find a blog, although it wasn't alphabetical which it should have been, and go strait to it and also catch up on any news that may affect the chattablogs. I would like the old blog style revamped and put back into place. For one you can't really get an overall shot of how many bloggers there actually are on chattablogs and it usually takes me forever to find some people's blogs because the newest and oldest sort doesn't always seem to work. I think a side bar of all the bloggers (in alphabetical order) should be reestablished that way if someone is looking for a particular blogger they can check that list, go to their last name or code name and find it instead of having to fiddle with finding their most recent entry or fiddle with who is newer or older. which still doesn't make sense because if you're searching alphabetically its not a matter of newness or oldness. There's also plenty of room for the side bar with every blogger on it on one page. I realize this is a lot of bloggers and alot of names, but it can be done, not hard, i guess i don't know anything about computers and internet stuffs. THats my complaining for today. off to st. louis tomororw and turkey eating.

I'd like an alphabetical listing, but lets keep the most recently updated listing, too.
