Yep, we need some way to page back in time.
i will admit though, that i think our weblog entry pagification is a
bit quirky and messed up. i don't use it, so it doesn't bother me
much, but i know of 2 things that i've noted in the past.
1. the next/previous links don't work properly for permalinks.
previous works, but next always goes to the most recent entry.
That's how it should work on a single entry page.
2. a date based archive like /page/20050920 shows a full page of
entries rather than just the entries from that day. why?
That's how Roller has always worked, and it's wrong. It causes cache
duplication and it can even prevent people from viewing entries. For
example, let's say you have 50 posts on one day, but you're blog is
configured to show only the most recent 15 entries. You miss entries 16
through 50.
it seems to me that we should support all 3 date based urls, /2005,
/200509, /20050920, and each should be limited to the scope of the
date presented. i.e. if someone just puts the year then they will
only see entries for that year, same for month, same for day.
We should definitely support single-entry, day, month and year views.
For the year and month views, we might want to get creative and show a
calendar rather than a bandwidth-busting big page of entries.
But the main page of a blog should display some number of days recent
posts, with the option of displaying them grouped by day.
So, if we provide access to month, day and year views, do we really
need a way to page back in time in chunks of X entries at a time? I
like that features, but it causes weblog entries to be duplicated in
the cache (since each also appears on a single entry page).

wouldn't that make a lot more sense?

I'm not sure I understand what functionality you guys are talking
about. Is this something that is found on weblog pages? or on the

That one slipped through the cracks.
There's a next-prev macro that works on single-entry pages, but we
should add that back.

One of the features I liked in Roller 1.x was a link at the bottom

a page that linked page a page to previous posts. This seems to be
missing from Roller 2.0 - why?
