I’m working on getting my archive setup as the main page is getting pretty long. Something I like to do when I discover a new blog is to read through the blog’s post archives. I figure if the poster had one intriguing enough post to bring me to their blog, they probably had some others in the past. I just like to be caught up before going forward.
The way I track my progress through a large archive is by the links. You read it, it’s considered visited, it changes colors and automatically marks my place for the next time I visit. However, there are some blogs that don’t change their link colors when they are visited. I understand the style gain in a post, but define separate link parameters for the blog. It’s an easy css change that takes down an annoying barrier that might otherwise keep readers from checking out your past posts.
