Some food for thought from Jason Kottke which has led me to test something new here. Instead of providing the standard “previous entries” link at the bottom of the homepage (which takes you to /page/2 and onward), I’ve replaced it with links to recent articles, interviews, and reviews.
The idea is that someone at the bottom of the homepage is more likely than not a new reader (regular readers hang out at the top of the site or in the RSS feed). So why direct a new reader to what I linked to last week? It seems to make a bit more sense to tell them about the recent and premier articles that have been written here.
