Are Blogs Encouraging the Quick Consumption of Photography? - Conscientious

Yes. I have been saying this for years. The time-line nature of the "Blog" makes it not the best way to organize information that may NOT be linked to a contemporary timeline. News, political, humor and such, fine. But my blog has content that is good for years, not only today. Yet the site gets visited on a 'home-page' hierarchy that has little follow through clicks. Even though there is tons of content that is not 'old' because it was posted a few months or years ago.

Yes... I am thinking of taking Lighting Essentials back to a website instead of a blog.

Are Blogs Encouraging the Quick Consumption of Photography? - Conscientious:
"I don't even know why I didn't realize this earlier, but most blogs (at least those similar to Conscientious) are being organized in a temporal way - new posts are sorted by when they were published - but, in fact, their contents usually is not temporal at all! I do post one photographer per day, but the reason why I post one is so that people have enough time to look, so that the photographer's work is done justice. This might make it look like yesterday's photographer is 'old news', but that's just because the blogging software makes it look that way."
