They use php magic and some widgets to do this. I’ve seen bloggers doing this with the extensive use of their archives and categories. They use php magic and some widgets to do this.

I believe this kind of approach helps readers catch up easily... your views please...

Oh, funny. Yep, that's a great description. If we don't help our readers keep up, and lead our visitors to water, I think we are missing out on a good chance to add value to our blogs. While you may be only as good as your last movie, I think bloggers are as good as the collection of their posts, not their last posts. :D @ Steve Hall:

Coming from a military background, I'm all too familiar with the proliferation of TLAs (three-letter abbreviations)--too many of which are presumed to be known to the readers. As someone who is fairly new to the geek-speak of HTML, CSS, php and the like, I always appreciate it when an author takes the time to educate, as well as inform. I try very hard to maintain the practice of spelling out any abbreviation or acronym the first time I use it; however, I can definitely see the value in using the <acronym> tag, especially for more ubiquitous terms. Thanks for the reminder! Outstanding tip on acronyms (and abbreviations), Lorelle.
