One of the most frustrating things about blogging is that even when you’re really happy with what you’ve written, it eventually gets pushed off the main page to languish in the obscurity of the archives. Since I have certain recurring interests, I do occasionally link back to them myself, but I doubt people go perusing the archives and one can hardly blame them. This is the way of the blog; your best work gets buried in the archives.
Some bloggers have attempted to combat that by publishing lists of their best entries, so taking my cue from them, here is a list of my best entries (it’s also in the navigation to the right). I’m not done with it yet, but it’s a good start. Unfortunately, I doubt taking this step would really show tangible results. It is, after all, just another link in the navigation.
A while ago, I checked Jonathon Delacour’s blog and a picture at the top of his left-navigation caught my eye. It links back to one of his older posts (which I assume he likes or is otherwise proud of). In true internet fashion, I’d like to steal that idea and implement something like that here. You can see a preliminary version of this on my archive page (at the top of the right-navigation). Some entries are difficult to come up with images for, so it might be a while before this feature really gets going. Given the eye-catching nature of this feature though, I think it would be a lot more effective than just a list.
This is a work in progress, so expect some changes. If you have any favorite entries, feel free to post a comment or drop me an email and let me know (and thanks to those who’ve already chimed in!)
Well, this certainly has to be the WORST blog entry I’ve ever seen.
Hmph!
Tee-hee
This from the rambling queen of stupendousness:P
I’m going to add this post to the best entries just to spite you.
*ahem*
Ok, ok, the blog has been a bit lame lately. I admit it. Things have been busy and I haven’t had time to really sit down for a few hours and concentrate on something interesting. I’ve got a few ideas, but no time or motivation to follow through. I’ll try my darnednest, er, best, to write up something good and thoughtful this weekend. I have one post in mind, but I need to stop by the side of the road and take a picture of some phone and power lines first. It’s an essential ingredient to that post.
