  I have had requests that it is hard to see all my posts. I feel I have categorised and tagged as best I can but most of my posts are under one main header which is just ramblings, random humopur type stuff so I don’t feel it can be catgorised down any further. I was talking about this to other bloggers who have humour blogs and they cannot really break down humour into different categories to make people finding older stuff easier.

  Someone wanted to find an old post but after pressing previous entry so many times it would take them forever.

  I have now put recent posts with an infiite number so all my posts are disaplyed but it looks messy, it would be ideal if you can have this in a drop down box just like you can archives and categories. Then it would just have header recent posts but then when they drop down they can see all of them but it still means my blog looks a it cleaner.

  Could this be something you do easily?

  I think it would be popular, as when some bloggers just write on certain topics there is no way for us to break them down into more categoris as they really are based on one theme. It is not like a recipe blog where it can be broken down into different sections easily.

  I would love you forever if you did this!
