If you visit this space often, you want to see the newest notes. That's why weblogs put the newest notes at the top.

This way, you can hear the story as it unfolds, day by day, or revisit it later in an order that makes sense. This seems an obvious concession to the conflicting needs of emerging narrative and archived histories. (more on AnotherWorld)
