However, consider: (a) for regulars, the comment feed keeps us abreast of active conversations no matter how old the post those comments are in response to; (b) there are 20 slots for top posts on the blog, and I can increase that number (it’s really arbitrary, if anyone thinks it should be more, let me know); and (b) blogs are different in that unlike the fray where once a top post is pushed off the front page is might as well have fallen of the face of the earth, blog posts remain indexed in search engines, and search engines are one of the primary ways people find blog posts talking about what they’re looking for.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01280493465087503360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760967123218143470.post-82961382112169856442006-11-15T05:56:00.000-08:002006-11-15T05:56:00.000-08:00TK,

Right now, the FAQ, posted last Friday, hasn't yet been pushed off the front page. <br /><br />I guess the model I see for this is closer to a Breakfast Table (contributors chime in on various topics, conversational tone) rather than the Fray (someone posts an essay as a top post and people discuss it in the thread). So, for myself, I'm lowering the bar for what merits a top post. At this point, I think it's more valuable for us to have a fluid conversation than to conserve front page space.<br /><br />But that's just me; I could be wrong. If the consensus is that the top posts are a nuisance, I'll cease and desist.JohnMcGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476537916134121570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4760967123218143470.post-22692402703363548062006-11-14T21:34:00.000-08:002006-11-14T21:34:00.000-08:00Hey John:
