It's been a while since we passed comment #200.  Who's going to get comment #300?

Minus all the ones that WordPress.com ate way back when.  I try not to think of those.  *sniff*

Edit: Looks like it's me.

I find myself wondering about this, not only because Problogger asked about it way back when, but because I'm sitting here looking at this site.  One of the features of WordPress is that you can have multiple index pages.  Movable Type doesn't do that out of the box but it's a two second fix with Alden Bates' Paged Archives plugin, a plugin that that I've blogged about before.  If you check out the main index page for this site, you should see the links near the bottom of the content column.

It's not a big change.  I mean we already use category pages as well as monthly ones.  I also have a complete post list, something that WordPress doesn't do out of the box.  I did a test of 5 Posts on the front page instead of the normal 10 but quickly changed it back.  I hate it when the sidebar is longer than the content.  You're usually stuck with that on individual post pages unless you normally write a bloody book each and every post.

The image is from Sue's post about Blogging Tips with EDUBlogs.  It came up when I did a few keyword searches for an images to use on this post.  Maybe we can get her to do an article on the subject.

I've decided to give Project Wonderful a try for a bit. (Note to self.  I have to check on my Paypal account.  I haven't used it in ages.  I wonder if it's still active...) Have to admit that I'm really not big on putting move adverts here on the site but I'm not asking for any minimal bid so pretty much anyone can get some space right now.  I find myself blogging a fair amount on webcomics.  Maybe a few will poke their heads up for some free or cheap advertising.

I came across these links today and wanted to pass them along.

I hope they're a help to someone.
