Dear Blog Designers:

OK, seriously. Maybe I'm just really dense, or something. I must need to RTFM, RTFAQ, JFGI, or CUWANAITTRHMSRO 1. But seriously, when I discover a blog, and want to look at the archives, why do you insist on showing the several-year-old entries Last-In-First-Out on every page? Why is there not a "read this like a human being would" option on any

Gaaaaaah. That annoys me so much, and has stopped me from reading several blogs before, as a matter of fact.

If the material is just that entertaining or interesting and useful, I'll put up with it. But it's still something I actively, consciously dislike having to deal with, and I don't see why it's necessary. The machine isn't keeping this data in a LIFO stack, we already have options to find only entries tagged a certain way, etc, why not also present them in logical order?

You should be able to just sort with the press of a button, FIFO or LIFO as desired. NOT THAT HARD A CONCEPT, and not that hard to execute!

*nod* I'd like it that way. Obviously, I've never built a blog, but it seems that, at the very least, once you know you're dealing with entries X to X+15, arranging them should be relatively trivial.
