I don't know why this bugs me but have you considered updating the newscred blog's permalink structure so that the urls are indicative of the date and or post title and not just an entry number?
thanks for the tip. its always bugged me too, but I just didnt spend time looking for the option. i can change it now, but do you know what happens to all my URLS that have been bookmarked, saved, indexed by Google etc. Does the change only affect new ones going forward?
Gilbert and Sullivan have a line: If everybody's somebody, then noone's anybody. I think this applies to online journelism. There are so many news outlets, blogs, etc. to be found online (such as huffingtonpost, politicalwire, thedrudgereport, to name a few for politics). This is so saturated that little distiungishes these, unless they are tied to "big names". So, for example, I always go to cnn.com if there is a big news story. It is about TRUST. I know I will never be misled by CNN. Good, honest, journelism that cares about "TRUTH, JUSTICE, and THE AMERICAN WAY" to coin a phrase, like "The Daily Planet" will never be outdated. So today we have a proliferation of online blogs and so on that more or less cancel each other out. When it comes to "hard news", news when it matters, such as the site I went to at around 8:45 AM EST on Sept. 11, 2001, that was CNN.com, not "thedrudgereport". True, trustworthy news organizations will have to have an online presence, streams to mobile phones, etc. but gadfly news blogs will never replace "The Daily Planet". Or won't until Lex Luther becomes CEO of google, that is, lol!
