There are a lot of parentheses in this post.
I've spent the past two days worrying about this stupid displaying of my blog entries problem. If you haven't been to the archive then you won't know that, until recently, the newest posts I made were being displayed last, while the oldest posts I made started up top.
For me, this is not a problem since I have always been infuriated by sites such as (the appropriately named)Blogger.com always displaying the most recent post first, even when browsing through the archives, which becomes annoying if you are new to a blog and are trying to read every post in chronological order. You have to start every new page by scrolling down to the bottom and then gradually scroll up, careful not to miss the start of the next entry.
With my prefered system, with oldest posts at the top, you can just read through by pressing 'space' every time you get to the end of the 'page'(that is, not the entire page, but the part of the page you can see). I felt so strongly about this that when my friend Ian was in charge of my(and his) blog(his was much more awesome) I asked him to put an option in to allow readers(not that I had any) to be able to switch the order around.
He did it so well that I will be blatantly stealing it for this site as well(not that I'll be taking the code directly from his scripts, because it is light-years ahead of me. No, I'll be writing my own, dumbed-down version from scratch) once I have the contact page finally done(I've been asking readers to contact me using that page for a few days now, a somewhat impossible task... good thing I don't have any readers!).
Oh, I did fix the 'problem', so now the entries flow just like they would on any well-put-together blog. That's right - I have only the illusion of order.
