With my ever-growing fondness of blogging, I’ve wrote an article for the Flame blog on the subject of Navigating Large Blogs.

Here’s a quick excerpt:

So when a blog grows and expands, it’s easy for older posts to get lost and unseen. Sure they’re still there, archived or categorized, but once your post count starts to rise above the lofty heights of 100 posts… chances are your old work, regardless of how well-written or useful, is going to attract less traffic from either external or internal sources.

The importance of internal blog navigation cannot be underestimated. It may seem obvious but a lack of categorization, clear navigation and tidy layout can have massive negative implications on a site’s usability, and therefore readership.

So go and check it out for yourself, but don’t forget to come back!
