AHA!

OK. I discovered that you can reverse the order of posts that are displayed, but then the viewer has to click on "Newer posts" each time she wants to move on, she can't scroll at all, so it's a hassle.
Or, I have more discovering to do.

. . . Still Counting.

One thing that sucks about Blog-sites (especially sites like mine, which is really just an ongoing personal journal for the most part), is that a reader really should start from the first post and scroll toward the most recent in order to avoid redundancy, but it's the most recent one that's posted on the landing page.  There's no easy reverse mode.

Maybe I just haven't discovered it yet.

Am I being picky? After all, a blog does not a book make.

Or does it?

Six Weeks and Counting.

Six weeks since I've visited you here, Bloggee. I should be ashamed of myself, I know. You were my very first social networking experience. We were hot weren't we? Posted a lot! I'll admit to tiny twinges of guilt, but nothing more. Even Twitter, your successor, with whom I tweeted endlessly, has been leaving messages in my IN BOX, probably worried about me, as I've hardly visited her universe either, lately. If it wasn't for the fact that I use my FB author's page to post consecutive chapters of "The Zedland Chronicles" every third day, I'd be a stranger in Facebook land, too. It's a good thing the novel has 98 chapters.

Just sayin'. 

The marriage between me and social networking is on the rocks, it seems. From Blog to Twitter to Facebook, I have lost the energy to fight for recognition, to gain thousands of friends, to become famous, and rich. It's all my fault, I'm sure: lame efforts, like the ones I made at bars when I was in college.
One can't keep giving without getting in return, so I have slacked off for self-preservation, which I remain good at.  So be it, I say. No more promises. I'll be back when it feels healthy.
