Doxory?

gugod has decided How many number of entires would be the best in the my blog homepage ?

Asked 3 years ago

My choice: Less then 10. Where the first page looks shorter.

Probably depends a lot on how big your entries are though

If a post gets popular, it'll probably be permalinked anyway, and if Google likes you, it likes your entire site.

trs, Ian, nelhage, aletta, paigep, peggusus, shadow, Alex, perturbed, rowr_grl, androidqueen, sauergeek, Yoyo, Mycroft

More then 10. Don't let old content go out so soon so it's more friendly to search engines (maybe).

I hate having to search around for how to go back in time when I like a blog. With reasonably fast internet, there's little reason to limit it.

People who visit your blog via the homepage (rather than rss or a link to a specific post) will want to see a significant set of articles. More than 10 is definitely appropriate.

I hate clicking the "Archive" link.

I'd say you want to keep approximately a weeks' worth of entries, so that people can check not terribly often without following links.

As much as load times sanely allow. And blog entries aren't that big.

jesse, quince, coolworld, beppu, djdrue, Mark, Richie, erin, glasser, buddywiser36, raloxifiend, garfieldfreak123, ManWorkingHere, cshiley, HoodOrnament, eisenbud, transistorman, mitsa17

I think you should make the home page about 3-5 screen-scrolls tall. How many blog entires will it take for you to reach 4 screenfuls?

10 is a nice number.

It depends on the length of the entries. I have a habit of discovering blogs and then reading them, basically starting at the homepage and working backwards; the front-page should be a decent-sized web page, although I can't define "decent-sized".

If you make a stupid choice because a website tells you to, it's your own damn fault.
