Blogs are getting busy! What do you think about only showing the latest entry from a blog on the main page? IE, if i post 5 entries today, only my latest one shows up on the main page, instead of all 5 in a row. This means if you like to follow every single blog entry you could miss some...

Re: Blogs are getting busy, what do you think?
I'll be the first to speak up - I find it harder to catch the blogs I really want to see everyday when there are so many duplicate posts...I don't mind clicking on the latest post of a certain blog to go back and read the rest. But I do find that if I only have a limited amount of time, I will scroll through the newest posts, which are often dupicates, and never get back to the ones I am looking for.
my vote - show only the latest entry. -

Yes to showing the latest entry...I agree with what Jodi says above. Thanks!Comment

Re: Blogs are getting busy, what do you think?
I like reading them, but I noticed one person would print different tips and posted them 12 different times. I would rather see the tips somewhere else, they should not be in a person's blog. Also, you would see one or two lines, instead of telling the whole story. Look at me talking, I am the biggest blabber mouth on here.

Maybe just leave those that were posted less than 2 weeks ago.Comment

Re: Blogs are getting busy, what do you think?
Well, I'm one of the persons who posts tips, coupons, as well as my personal finance stuff. It's been by request, but we can separate things out if that's what people want.
People who ONLY post tips...seems a bit odd, doesn't it?Comment

Re: Blogs are getting busy, what do you think?
I like the tips, I like flashes blog! but..I hate looking at the main page and seeing 6 posts by one person, and nothing new by anyone else, I would rather click the first post if I wanted to check it out, and then move on to other posters (would never miss flashe's though, she is nice and convenient on the 'most entries'
)

True, maybe we could add most recent post to the show all page, then if you only wanted to see latest post, you could? I don't know...Comment

Re: Blogs are getting busy, what do you think?
I think some people are posting so much so they can get into the most active blogs list. Maybe removing that list will calm some people down.
Not that I haven't been a posty gal lately. I've been writing different posts on different topics. Combining wouldn't be a bad idea now I think of it.Comment

Re: Blogs are getting busy, what do you think?
When a handful of people write 4-6 entries in a row, it tends to push down all the singletons. If someone was wanting people to see something they wrote and get some feedback, it's hard to do if they've been shoved off the front page by that small handful of bloggers.Comment

I go with the majority on this issue. I pushed the wrong poll answer though! Darn!_

Re: Blogs are getting busy, what do you think?
I agree with showing the most recent AND with removing the most active list.
Sometimes I just want to blog something for my memory and I sometimes will make a few entries so that when I want to look back, I will know by title where to look. However, I do not like that this pushes others' blogs off the page.
If I want to keep up with someones blog, I will go to their blog directly rather than skimming through to see if theyve posted...
But I do like having the first few lines of the latest blog entry show so that I can quickly determine if I want to read on.
Thanks for asking!Comment

Re: Blogs are getting busy, what do you think?
Just FYI, but for those that use RSS like I do, it will automatically show the very first few sentences of the blog entry.
I love RSS.

Re: Blogs are getting busy, what do you think?
also, is it possible to add a choice to a blog as to whether you want it to show on the public blog list or to just go straight to your blogs archives?
Just a thought.Comment

Re: Blogs are getting busy, what do you think?
Oh, yeah, we used to have the private entry when we had journals. So we could track our personal finances without everyone seeing everything.
I'm trying to stick with the one post a day, but now I see everyone else is writing basically articles and how to's. It does seem more like a private forum for writers than a blog on personal finances. It's definitely taking away from the forums and the sister sites. It's impossible to follow a discussion between blogs, where everyone is writing the same tips; a forum thread would be much better. But, probably can't do any thing abuot that.
Does the site benefit from having the most commented and most active blogs listed?Comment
