Right now, we have two links for blogs that lead to the same location.
Blogs at the top lead to http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/ which lists blogs based on overall blog rating.
Blogs on the right also lead to this same link.
Suggestion: Change the link on the right so that it leads to http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/bloglisting.php which lists blogs based on last entry.
In this way, it follows the forum format. Clicking on any other forum links on the left would expand the number of topics shown for that particular forum based on last post. So why not treat the blogs link on the right the same way?

"so that doesn't help at all"
It is a matter of brain plasticity fakesteve. It wouldn't help you but it might help him in case the recomendation is not adopted - and it might even help (idea sharing) saro/meat when they update the sitemap or decide to implement his recommendation. It would be nice to have 2 front page links to the blogs, to the date-entry format and to the author-entry format - thus making everyone happy (even people that dilike blogs).
I personally do not care - it ain't for me, I already have my desktop links so that I can single click my favorite sections. I simply shared it with useless (and other users though the post).

Are you suggesting his brain is not a fully synthetic or semisynthetic polymerization product composed of organic condensation or addition polymers? Such an honor to have a scintillating wit like yourself grace these plebeian forums...

I have a similar problem. When I click the "Poll" hypertext on the right side of the teamliquid.net website front page (and other pages too, naturally), I come to a list of polls organized in a manner such that the most recently posted poll is the poll closest to the top of the screen, and the second most recently posted poll is second closest to the top of the screen, and so on and so forth, regardless of which poll has the most recent post inside of it.
This is opposed to the organization method used for forums (for example, the general forum), where the time at which a topic is started counts, to simplify things, for nothing more than a post inside the thread, which moves the thread closer to the top of the screen than every other topic in teamliquid.net history.
What does this mean? It means polls have an upper limit (except for a new poll, unless you consider being the poll closest to the top of the screen an upper limit) and a lower limit, referring of course to their position in the archive of polls. While threads HAVE NO UPPER OR LOWER LIMITS
Let's give a hypothetical to make this clear for all of you teamliquid.netters. Imagine there are one hundred polls, and someone starts a new one (there are now one hundred and one polls). This newest poll will always have one hundred polls below it; there will always be one hundred polls closer to the bottom of the screen (if the polls are all on one page, and if we speak loosely, disregarding the fact that to view the whole screen we have to use a scroll bar, and that what is closest to the bottom of the screen is constantly changing, and equate the bottom of the screen with the bottom of the screen after the scroll bar has been scrolled all the way to the bottom).
But the poll doesn't appear to have a upper limit, does it? Imagine ten more polls are posted. The hundred and first poll can never move any higher -- or any lower. It's stuck between the hundreth and hundred and second poll (or stuck between the hundreth poll and the top of the screen). It's static. Now of course, fifty new polls might be posted, or sixty, or seventy, so a casual observer might think its place changes, but it doesn't, IT IS STATIC
Regarding threads in a forum, though, the hundred and first thread (let's assume there was a hundred threads, and new one is posted) is not static. This thread, at any time, could be made the thread closest to the top of the screen, or the post closest to the bottom of the screen. How? Well, if the hundred posts beneath the hundred and first post were posted in, the hundred and first post would be closest to the bottom of the screen. Or, if fifty threads later, the hundred and first post was posted in, it would become the thread closest to the top of the screen.
The hundred and first thread can take any of the hundred and one position availabe (disregarding the relation of threads to each other -- there would be many more positions if the spot between the tenth most recently posted thread and the twentieth was considered a unique spot, and the spot between the tenth and the fifteenth most recently posted thread was considered a unique spot, and so on and so forth), while the hundred and first poll can only occupy one of the hundred and one positions availabe in relation (or two if you consider the position between the top of the screen and the hundreth thread, and the position between the hundred and second thread and the hundreth thread two unique positions).
Dynamic threads, static polls, dynamic threads, static polls, is your head spinning like mine??
THIS IS MADNESS. THIS INCONSISTENCY IS UNACCEPTABLE. ENTROPY, PLEASE GIVE PROVIDE A LINK ON YOUR SITEMAP WHICH FIXES THIS. BUT WAIT, TEAMLIQUID HAS NO SECTION WHERE POLLS BECOME DYNAMIC AND THREADS BECOME STATIC, SO YOU CAN'T HELP ME. I REPEAT THIS IS MADNESS
If you're for my cause please make yourself heard and tell the teamliquid staff that if this is not fixed you will leave!!! We want prominent links to dynmaic polls (I have relevant things to say about old polls!!) and static threads (order of threads tells a tale of tl.net history which is ruined by bumpers -- anachronisms are not acceptable!!)
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.”

PS: I will post this in every thread where tl.net refuses to act for the betterment of tl.netters!!

I was answering fakesteve and trying to explain why it is harder for some to accept a new functionality or a new formats. Some people accept change with greater ease than others. I did not imply that he himself lacked any brain plasticity himself which is why I told him my advice would not help him since he has already adapted and is one of our more prolific blog posters.
As for your question - neuroscience for kids should help you with your doubts: http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/plast.html
As for your comments about myself - you have misunderstood me since there was no intention on my part to be graceful or witty.
