Do you know what day it is?
Thomas Burg cites a post by Simon Willison:
By removing the day headers entirely, I hope to shift the focus of this blog from religious daily updates to entries with a little more substance. I think the psychology of a blog's design is easily under-rated; I've already noticed that my blog entries have been getting longer since I started adding entry titles. At any rate, with this latest design tweak I certainly won't be rushing out poor quality entries before midnight any more.
For those same reasons I deleted the day headers from my template when I switched to Moveable Type a few weeks ago. I'd rather have my readers turn away from a posting because they think it's not worth reading, than because the day header says it's already yesterdays news.
PermalinkA really interesting idea that may the solution I've been looking for.
Moving from Radio to Movabletype left me with a heap of individual, daily and monthly archives. The navigation from one to another is proving a nightmare to sort out. I'll consider this as a solution. May lead to more consideration of my titles as well.
I don't think of my entries as associated with a particular time, nor do I when visiting other sites.
