I don't care if people visit my blog

This sounds kind of like a blog-as-database approach. Certainly the flexibility in reading formats is nice. I guess I wonder why not open it to less of a forced-newest-first display, if the goal is to be info-first. RSS and other feeds are really good at making old stuff seem irrelevant, or simply hiding it.

Personally I like a little bit of that chronological feed mindset. Certainly my thinking evolves over time. Hopefully for the better, averaged out.

But I also like to use the "blog as website experience stuff/tools" and hope that it benefits my visitors as much as it benefits me. Tags, sidebar and footer content, integration of other databases. I find my own blogs' website interfaces useful to me, in a variety of ways.

I'm also working on a custom navigation menu to give what I'm working on more of a presentational, organized approach. Even if some portion of my audience won't use it, I can tell that the reverse chrono feed format just isn't doing, and can't do, everything. It also needlessly reinforces the worst parts of the "new vs old content" dichotomy. Some of my visitors tell me they really like my old, buried content. It may not be who I am now, but it seems to interface well with who they are, and what they want.

Good food for thought, thanks for posting.
