Blog

I used to see a long list of post-titles down the right sight of the blog, but now see only a few recent titles, links to previous months, and the number of posts per month in parentheses.

I don't know why I'm not seeing them. It could be as simple as a change in format that I've missed. I would love to hear that their apparent absence is due merely to a change in format, and that the list of titles/subjects is still there somewhere, or -- is only missing temporarily.

I understand that his later opinions supersede earlier ones, after reading his post about how to read the blog (latest first). And I wondered if a desire to prevent references to older statements out-of-context has any connection with the missing list of post-titles.

Anyway... hoping someone here may know more about the missing titles, and whether the general public can ever expect to see them again.

It has nothing to do with monetization (or "monitizing"). The recent posts feature was set to display 50 and therefore was far too long. Click on each month and the posts for each month are displayed.

And Aaron's tip is a good one, too.

Thank you Dr. Harris. I was fooled by seeing the most recent posts at the top, no matter which month I clicked on, and simply failed to look below. – Rose Lake Mar 21 2011 at 22:01
P.S. I'll send my little donation now. I have to help make up for all the money Dr. Harris sent to Japan :) LOVE PaNu. – Rose Lake Mar 21 2011 at 22:07

Hey KGH-- if you have a moment and are in a list-making mood, it would super cool to see your response on the "Attention Doctors: What important medical stuff do us paleos not know about" thread...paleohacks.com/questions/28471/… – Kamal Mar 21 2011 at 23:34
Kurt, could you possibly add little drop-down tabs next to each month so we can see which articles are in which block? It would make it easier to find my favorites :) – Daniel Mar 22 2011 at 4:50

It looks like he's just changed the format of the sidebar, displaying a monthly archive of old posts instead of listing them all. Once a blog has a lot of posts, listing them all makes every page unnecessarily long. They're all still there; just use the search function to find them. (Adding the word 'blog' to your search seems to help the blog posts come up before the discussion forum posts.)

Thank you. The titles often jogged my memory, so were very helpful. Thanks for the tip about using the search term "blog" to make Dr. Harris's posts come up first. For some searches, the huge number of results made searching useless. – Rose Lake Mar 21 2011 at 21:03

That is part of monitizing a blog.

Could you expand on that? If you mean that this will help the site pay for itself, I don't understand how. Freeing up ad-space? – Rose Lake Mar 21 2011 at 21:45
