Blogging and post order

Two notes on all that follows:

1. Yes, I did write most of it by candlelight. But no, I did not post it online with the power out.

I write first in Word, and copy and paste into Typepad.

I often read short posts on other blogs saying "I had written a long post but blogger/ my Web browser/ my online connection failed and I lost it."

Why would anyone write in anything but a word processor?

2. I did not copy and paste this in "blogging" reverse order.

As one post often builds on another, I paste them in the order I want them read.

I believe that new "sections" should be top-posted, but not each and every individual post.

Thanks for reading. I hope you enjoy my blog.

You make an interesting point about posting order--seems every day I stumble upon a new blog and the top entry is further thoughts on something the author already said, which I often then have to go find (sometimes they link to their previous post, sometimes they figure you'll scroll past eight others to find it). Reverse chronology works very well for some types of writing, but not so great for the in-depth analysis or protracted debates many blogs offer.
