> Personal websites of the day were structured much like blogs would be, with a single index page listing all the articles in reverse-chronological order (or for the lazy/unconcerned with bandwidth, a big honking text file with new entries appended to the top). I don't think that was the norm at all outside of news sites. Like I said, there might be a what's new page, but I remember sites mostly organizing articles by topic, and updating them inside the article. See, for instance, the Marathon Story Page[1]. All of the articles are there on the side bar, organized by topic. There is a "What's New" section, but it's not useful for reaching the bulk of the site. It contains updates, not the content. The blog movement flipped this. You can see this shift in action by looking at the site superdickery.com. If you look at early versions of the site[2], it's nicely organized based on topic. Then at some point the join the ongoing trend and turn it into a blog[3], and almost all the content becomes obscure and difficult to find.
