Commentator "Heroin" hit the nail on the head, for the good of society obesity should never become 'normal'.
Fatness / obesity ("fatness" is a trigger worth, tha's why I am using it) is not just a personal thing it affects everyone, it increases health insuranc coste, it inconveniences other people, it fills hospital with people who basically have self inflicted sickness and disease.
There is a reason people are so much more fatter now than 100 years ago, back then they ate more healthier and less, and they exercised more in their daily life. Thats it. Its not genetic, its not personal circumstance, its just diet and exercise.
Largefromage is totally correct, the Lawn moa was so missed by the people that they made mechanical ones to keep them company. The bring them out on a weekly basis to remind themselves of what they have lost and to hear their melodic calls across suburbia.
Its not bad, it depends on what your experiences are of tramping beforehand. It can be stunning if you havn't experienced the environment before, and although there might be individual features bettered elsewhere its a great package deal, great scenery, amazing waterfalls, lush vegetation.
Walking on a track with so many others isn't the greatest, but the track has some highlights and getting no rain over the time is a rare occurrence.
The problem with using a wordpress type interface is exactly what you have said in your post. People don't read the old sections of your site. Thats the fundamental weakness of blogging structures.
Old content is good content but in your case its lost.
Your site is great, I read it most days, but your old content, which is still great content will not get read nor indexed in the search engines as well.
Also with a list of different posts down the index page, means that the search engines won't rank you high for any one topic, as they are all diffused together. If you are using adsense to monitorise your blog the adverts won't match the posts either.
Also if old posts are listed down the side with hyperlinks that too diffuses your keyword content and reduces your ranking and income.
These drawbacks mean that you spin your wheels staying in the same place, you must always produce content to get return visitors and old content isn't appreciated or read.
Because of these inherent drawbacks you need to change the structure of your site. What works with a small site with little content is failing you with your current site, you have moved beyond this system and need another type of structure to hold your content.
That is the next stage in the development of neatorama, one that sees your hard work properly recognised.
