Have you ever tried to read a book starting with the last page first, and work your way to the front? Books are published first to last because it’s the normal progression of a story. "Boy meets girl..." Blogs, however, do not currently offer the option (easily) to show a story from first to last; it is always last to first, which means that a first time blog visitor always shows up in the middle of the story.
Blogspot Product Suggestion: Provide an optional smart cookie (blog owner/admin could enable this option as needed) that recognizes a first time or return user and displays the blog in an appropriate order.
First time visitors would see the first story (or other summary post to set the tone/theme) from the beginning... "Boy meets Girl...” Return visitors see the blog in its normal order with the most recent post at the top... "Boy falls in Love all over again..."
This simple re-ordering feature would be triggered by either the absence of a cookie (posts displayed first-to-last), or the presence of a cookie (display posts last-to-first). Additional variations on the basic theme are also possible. This feature could help make presentations much more relevant to first time users, and help improve the engagement that writers have with their online audiences.
