I here the newcomer. Not absolutely I will understand with topic. Explain, please. http://kopitop.ru/map.html
It is a wonderful idea to look back at the foundation of items that we take part in. We have to remember the basis of what we are doing, and how it is perceived by those that run across it. A blog that was not in reverse chronological order would probably look very awkward if someone came up on it without knowing its system.
Great summary. I’m sure any newcomer reading this will find it helpful

I think what you are describing is a personal blog, however a blog can also be used for a group, business, or even an organization. Blogs don’t just have to be about one person

I think a blog should be treated as a conversation you would have face-to-face with someone. It should be respectful, content worthy and open minded.
