OK, I actually know how to do it, its damn simple, but if i am loading the sidebar with ajax then I cannot use any WordPress functions that will generate a tag cloud, recent posts, etc… How do I fix that?

@Tech – you’re right. It WAS implemented on my previous theme and as soon as I can I will re-introduce it here with this theme… I regret it didn’t happen immediately but I was in a rush to get this theme done at the same time as I joined B5.

The source does not seem to show that your sidebar is loaded with ajax. Did you really implement this feature and do you have any code examples on how to do it?

Thanks for explaining your reasoning.

As a reader, I personally can’t see any benefit in seeing WHEN you posted as much as WHAT. Grouping like-content helps me find related information like a table of contents, which is of much more benefit and will keep me around longer than “let’s see, what did he do in March of 2005? Hmmmm….”

I was madly in love with the old narchives which allowed sorting with a drop down menu by author, date, category, and alphabetically. Before it failed in a WordPress update two years ago, I left mine set for category and it was extremely popular. And it allowed the reader to choose.

Search engines don’t care. They use the site map anyway, whichever way you have it sorted.

@Lorelle – Good point. Yes I did put the latest content ordered to the top both for readers and for indexing… although not 100% sure about the value to the latter. To the reader, I just figured they wanted to see my posts in order of date. You would disagree?

I also assumed that if they want to see by category/tag, they can do a search…?

Why did you hack the archives/site map Plugin to showcase by date? I find that is really frustrating since a good site map should be like a table of contents to benefit your readers. The web crawler will go through it anyway, but does sorting by date put the newest stuff at the top of the generated page list? Is that why?

And just to be clear, a sitemap is the XML file and the site map is the viewable table of contents page. You would think a company smart enough to come up with Google would come up with better names for things that are not so confusing.
