I prefer the old school blog layout. I do miss things on the magazine layout and only find them by navigating through chronologically. This post is a good example. I only saw it because it appeared just below the mast head.

Magazine style, definitely – if only because it makes it easier to spot older music posts I’ve missed.

Magazine style is easier to navigate, but blog style is coffee-break friendlier. Overall perhaps Magazine style for me by 1% for convenience of finding a specific thing.

I’m more used to the blog style but I do like the magazine style – it makes it easier to see new posts at a glance especially if I haven’t looked in for a day or two.

Does require a bit more work to post, because I’ve got to associate an image with every blog post.

But now it’s set up, it maintains itself?

Took a whole weekend playing with PHP and CSS to get that to work. There are off-the-shelf themes that do somethng similar.

Both work fine, but I must admit that when I first saw your “magazine-style” page I was very impressed and wondered why a lot more blogs don’t do it. I guess it takes more work to create, though?

Can never tell how many of you are reading via RSS, because you don’t show up in my stats

I honestly don’t mind… I mostly read via RSS so it makes no odds to me
