Please feel free to put your foot further into your mouth as you try to swallow your ego, and get your buzzer fixed, it's making you look like an ass in public.
Well, since you picked this particular fight with me, I feel perfectly justified in responding to your attacks here (plus what you've been delivering to me via PM).
So tell me, O sage, just how have I put my foot in my mouth here?
Just how do you figure that the best way for someone with a blog to increase interest (and traffic) in their site is to totally abandon the user so far as navigation goes, providing nothing but a chronological set of links to "archives", and ASS-U-ME that they'll be happy to use an external search engine (Google, although one could just as easily use Bing or some other search engine) to search their site? If you believe this, then perhaps you should be selling yourself as an SEO "expert", along with the thousands of other scam artists out there.
Your comments about how search capabilities impose a severe resource load on a web site are just a red herring. Sure, if a blog owner wanted to implement a full-featured search capability, it might well overly tax the limited resources available to them. But I'm not talking about such a full-blown system. For chrissakes: all they need to do is create an index page, a box with links in it, a list of articles. Not rocket science, costs practically nothing, and wouldn't tax their server
at all.
Sheesh.
To the person I was responding to (acmefixer), hey, don't let me tell you what to do. What do I know? Think you're right? Then just keep on going like you've been. Don't be surprised, though, if people don't flock to your site in droves.
Turns out people actually appreciate such amenities as
actually being able to easily locate articles on a web site. As I'm sure the owners of this here site know very well.
