This is the only one that I am questioning. I don't mind if someone puts these links in themselves, but I'm not sure I'm convinced it should be the default behavior for these links to exist on the bottom of the blog homepage. My thinking is ... 1. It's a little misleading because you aren't really paging through the next XX entries. Paging through days seems less useful to me than paging through months. 2. I think it's preferrable to use some kind of archives page/section which lists links to older entries. On most blogs people typically have 1) the calendar and 2) a list of archives by month or category. These seem like more appropriate ways to access older entries from a blog homepage. -- Allen > > Day page > /page/<handle>/YYYYMMDD > On a day page, Roller will show all of the entries for a specific > day.
