I've been wondering about that too, Risa. I like the new format so we can scan blogs easier, eliminate the ones that no one posts on. I try to see everyone's posts, and the old way took me so long! Now we can see the new, and the "new-20 minutes-ago". I think that once someone comments on a blog, they don't come back? So then there's no interaction. What's with the people who make a blog and then never come back?
