The recent posts tab is supposed to show all the most recent posts, and I haven't been able to replicate the problem you describe, but I don't doubt you for a minute. I know this thing is going to be flaky for a while until we get all the categories sorted out. It would be very helpful if you could try and recall exactly how you got all those disorganised posts up so that we can get the Geek working on fixing it. As regards the other point you make, well, all I can say is, y'know, Chinese take-aways might satisfy you for a while but before you know it you're hungry again. Hmm.

For instance this morning under your heading recent posts there were posts from all over the place - 2009, 2007, 2008 whatever. Very disorganised. One thing about the last system was it's order. Turn on the Bock icon, there was the latest post, top of the list, no messing. Now it's all over the place. Looking fine and modern but come on lads. Get a bit of order into it. Maybe I'm getting old. I'm getting more from the other fella these days - you know, five fours... Sorry 'bout that. thanks.

Maybe I'm getting old. I'm getting more from the other fella these days – you know, five fours…

Sorry 'bout that.

thanks.

I may never read your site again, but then again my life is so bereft of entertainment I may have to. Given there are so many of us overseas types reading your diatribes, can we have a foreigh news section. PS: I've done a day to day body count and your claim of being 20% more offensive is inaccurate - it's only 16.4% as of yesterday.

It's an effort for me as well adapting to the new layout, but I'm afraid, folks, we're not going back to the old design. This one has more flexibility and allows me to do things I just couldn't in the past. As you begin to see new contributors and new options, I hope you'll appreciate why such a radical change was necessary. It was either that or remain stuck in a rut. We must keep evolving and challenging ourselves. This site is just going to get better. Simple as that. I'll publish some stats in the coming week that might surprise you. I feel your pain.

I think going back to the old, different font would help. And making the name of the post-er bigger like before. But the most important thing is still the content - and the improved offensiveness.

This is tidy but not as warm. It hink it's something about the color and the boxes. I miss the friendliness of the old sight. This is tidy but not as warm.

Now, one small thing... I read Bock regularly but rarely from your actual site - I pick up the posts in my reader (Google Reader). Before your site update (which *is* good), the full post was visible in the reader - I could read it all, then step on to my next feed. Now it only previews a snippit and if I want to, I gotta go to the site and read it all. think of all those tabs and windows open. Fair enough, I often do go to www.bock, but I prefer the other way. Is this an, erm, feature or a constraint from the good people of google? Or have I not explored the Reader options as thoroughly as I should have. Eagle Hey Bock,

Fair enough, I often do go to http://www.bock, but I prefer the other way. Is this an, erm, feature or a constraint from the good people of google? Or have I not explored the Reader options as thoroughly as I should have.
