Does the order really matter?

    So I have a photography and cinematography blog. What I can’t figure out is, should I leave it chronological or fixed?

    What in general do users want? I’m not a blogging expert, so I’m not sure what’s best for the visitor.

    For example, sometimes I blog about a big project and sometimes it’s just something simple. Would users get frustrated digging through so many posts, or would they just hit my menu?

    I want to make it easy for my visitors to find stuff. Thanks in advance for any advice or insight.

    This is something you’ll have to find out from your audience on your website, there isn’t an absolute answer.

    What do you mean by “fixed”.

    Some blogs I see look more like regular websites with a ‘home page’ that has links. WordPress calls them ‘stick’ posts that stay on the home page of the blog.

    For example; if I were to go out and take a nice picture of a flower, or write about what I did today, if my posts are in chronological order, that simple post pushes the others down. I can also see the scenario where I shoot someone’s wedding and they come to my blog to see a blog post about it.Hmmm

    Thank you Andrew, you’re probably right, the decision is probably visitor driven.

    By definition/example a blog is for new/updated news and info. Visitors won’t come back to read the same stuff (nor will Google).

    Thanks everyone. I’m thinking of a static home ‘page’ just for the sake of my wedding clients finding the stuff they want easily. My link is blog.droptodesign.com I’m still going to write posts and such, but I’m wondering if this will be ok for SEO.

    You’ve given me plenty to think about. Thanks for the input.
