Just how many days does it take?
Scott has some really good points on why you should keep more than one day of entries available on the front page of your weblog. I completely agree.. If I read all the weblogs I like to read every day I'd do nothing but..
On the other hand.. this made me think why is it exactly that I display 20 days worth of entries on my weblog. To be honest.. I've no clue.. so cut it down to 10. That's why there are all those lovely archive links on the right.. which, on the aside, I grep'ed my logs and these links are being used rather heavily.. so won't be taking them off.
Speaking of Scott. While the design of his weblog is pretty nice looking.. I find the size of the blog entry part very annoying. Why? I have a large monitor at work and in a typical unix geek fashion keep 200 little windows open at any given time. That's right, my browser is one of those teeny little windows.. Sometimes reading his weblog amounts to having 2 words at a time on one line. All that wasted space to frame it..

Ouch !
I'll see what I can do. I'm using the same template for like 10 odd blogs so template changes are a fricking nightmare. That's why I posted a "Is this template ok?" before I made the change. Sigh. Such is life. Good catch.

personally, i have a set number of entries on my main page, rather than a set number of days, just because i hate it when i get out of the blogging mood for a week or two and the front page empties out.

Yeah, I'd been meaning to bug Scott about his template...
