I've made some significant changes to The House of Lords because, after all, all that defines that section of this website is the list of the blogs on it, the names of the elements of that list and lastly, the order of that list. I have made amendments to all three today.
You see, previously the names on the list were something I cooked up for that person specifically such as my title of "High Buffon" for Smita's Blog. I thought I'd drop those now … well, Smita has stopped updating her blog and probably won't be reading this anyway. So, anyway, now they're all just first names of the blogs' authors (well, except Rungta, who is just Rungta).
Also, the order in the list was very convoluted and it was my best attempting at putting "similar" blogs together… let's just say that this deriorated over time and ended up in a fiasco because I just started sticking new blogs either at the end of the list or at random spots. Since I'm a big supporter of the whole "order vs. chaos" thing, now the list is arranged in descending order of the date of the last post the author has made, and I hope to update it everyday. Three pointers about this list: If more than one journal/blog/photoblog is updated on the same day, then, they are sorted alphabetically within that constraint. (I'm sorry but I've just spent a little too much time with databases, SQL and the ORDER BY clause.) Secondly, I do not consider the "time" of the posting, only the date. And thirdly, I understand that there is a minor issue with time zones such that even if K updates her blog after J updates his, on this list, J might appear higher up because J is in Shanghai and K is in Stanford.
The list has also been trimmed a bit, but no major changes regarding that aspect. Impulsive Highlighters will always remain the topmost in the list… it's too dear to me.
