A lot of blogs take on the same basic theme. You know, chronological order, newest entry on top. While I have no real problem with this, it’s sometimes cool to see some sort of deviation.

    Although this is a very interesting website, I hate it when a website breaks the back button. There shouldn’t be any more just flash websites ever again.

    http://wordage.org/ is a different kind of blog. it’s not in reverse chronological order, no timestamps, no comments, it’s one word at a time, and it’s from multiple authors.
