   This is a long-shot, but how about a widget for 'neglected posts' (maybe with a different title for the widget when in situ) - posts that didn't get many views because they didn't have enough readers at the time or which, for some reason, (maybe one posted them on a holiday when people were mostly away from their computers) didn't get many comments.

   The 'top posts' one is fine - but why only attract readers to already popular posts?

   I'm sure there are a lot of bloggers who'd appreciate a way to attract readers to neglected posts without having to manually link to them, themselves.

   Just an idea - here on the Ideas forum. (Don't get mad if you don't like it! ;) )

   The blog I need help with is artyoldbird.com.

   Thanks! I like your suggestion of categories and RSS feeds, I'd not thought of that. Also Timethief's static page suggestion in the same thread. And for some odd reason I'd not seen her post you linked to above, either! :)
