/blog

Om's post got me thinking about when I first moved to the Today/daily page format. I was worried that people wouldn't get a page not in reverse chronological view:

I really like the idea of "Today" but am not sure if it will work as the blog front page. People are so used to reverse-chron ... that I don't know whether they will adjust.

The traditional blog format and then social networks have conditioned us to 'new', we worship at the alter of recency – all else is forgotten within a matter of minutes. We have largely lost the reward of permanence our efforts should provide.

How do we get that back without losing the special magic a blog provides?
