I've spending a bit more time online again, remembering the pleasures of using the computer for messing around-- even surfing-- and I've noticed a need for a couple features, one simple, one not-so.

I'm addicted to reading The Julie/Julia Project. But, like my experience with a couple other excellent serials (Bloggus Ceasari and Dive Into Mark for instance), I encounter two great frustrations.

1. Where to begin? Digging one's way to the first post of a serial is ridiculously hard. If you're doing a good job with a serial, you will get late-coming fans, as the publicity gets out. Why not make it easy for others to get caught up with a nice "start here" or "first post" button (and yes, I'm repeating myself... and ceasari did indeed respond)

2. How to bookmark? I suddenly appreciate I.E.'s nomenclature "favorites" because I now need true bookmarks--- a way to note this is the place in the serial where I left off reading, so I can pick it up again. And this bookmark, unlike Netscape bookmarks, needs to be movable and eventually disposable.

One for the lazyweb? They would both be nice MT additions...

=v= I keep telling ya, forget the IE/Netscape thing and move into the 21st Century with Mozilla. (And what Mozilla doesn't have, Mozdev has added.)

Hey, I'm the mock-Caesar. Thanks for the mention, but more importantly, how is the site looking now from a UI perspective? Anything need improving?

As for real bookmarks, I'm with you there. Presumably someone with mad skillz could design a cookie for weblogs that could forward a user to the post immediately after one's last visit. (Man that last sentence could have used some commas.)
