(2003-06-24) Bernstein Middle Of Story

Mark Bernstein on a Context challenge for WebLog writers: we're always coming into the middle of the story. If you're always explaining, you'll never get around to what matters. Where the hell were you yesterday? But the reader is always walking in at the wrong moment. How can anything make sense, if you're not always explaining? I think this is a pro-WikiLog point: blogbits tend to point to persistent pages, and as those pages get edited they re-appear in the current-contents list.
