I'm not sure that I believe group blogs versus individual blogs really has anything to do with it. But you make a good point that any blog that ends up with a lot of entries on a single day presents a more interesting challenge in how it is displayed. However, I would disagree that the "Front Page" of a blog should allow for pagification. I believe the main page of a blog is only meant to provide a blog snapshot and simply display the last XX most recent entries from that blog. If someone wants to go beyond those XX entries then they need to access that blogs archives, where we would allow for pagification. It's a somewhat subtle distinction between front page and archives, which a casual user may not even notice, but i think it's important to how we organize the data into pages. -- Allen > > I can see a group blog that could potentially have more than 15 > entries in a day, and users may want to get to them to follow the > discussion. > > It will be nice to see a link "prev page" and "next page" which could > show the next page worth of entries. > > For the "Front Page", my two cents, it will be nice to show all the > entries for the day.
