Harold: These are wonderful insights into learning from blogs! You've captured one of the reasons I enjoy this so much that I had not articulated myself. It seems like an unfolding story to me when a new post is added from someone I read consistently. I have some context from their previous posts, perhaps even comments I've made on their blog, or they have made on mine (like you for instance). With that context, the latest post relates to many other posts and makes the blogger more fascinating and enticing to follow further. Tom
