Freshly pressed
-
I think FP is especially good for those who have just started blogging. It is a way of having a look at a selection of other blogs if you don’t know where else to start, and now the reader is so annoying to use (so slow that I have abandoned it altogether) and the showcase forum is gone where is another place to do this?
I know a lot of the comments people put in the featured posts are mainly congratulatory and often have little to do with the actual content but I wonder if that is one of the things that makes WP a supportive rather than negative place? Those new to blogging are immediately exposed to the positive attitude rather than a culture of “your post sucks”.
When I started blogging I read it all the time (meeting many wonderful bloggers along the way) and wished I could be one of the chosen few. Now I rarely read FP and have no desire to be FP myself, that spike of ‘best day ever’ figures will never be repeated and would just make me feel like a total failure for the rest of my blogging life!
Leave it, I say.

I see FP as an area to show new bloggers but not necessarily great writing alot of the time.
Or a place to chew mindlessly on bubblegum reading with the rare thoughtful blog post.
