Content-typology pages

strict reverse-chronological order
for blogs
is a semantically braindead ordering-scheme

so i used to put a lot of effort
into exploring other possibilities

especially
picking any promising topic
and winnowing search results
picking the most promising pages

and sorting those links by
type
of content

so the resulting index-pages
offered an implicit content-typology
simply via the clusters
of similar content-types
embodied in the resulting page layouts

eg for persons:
short bios
individual works
influences
gossip
etc

(if there's to be a microformat
it would have to be
a person-pages-content-types microformat)
