Well something needs to be done...what you have now is not right
First of all....anyone who wants to see the most popular blogs of the day can go to that page and scroll. When I come on I often look at what is being added right then at the bottom and I watch the top for interesting blogs I might read
Its very discouraging and ANNOYING VERY ANNOYING to see one blog scroll over and over again 6 times in 20 mintues and that blog is already listed in most popular for the day. Come on....there is some bias going on here. I dont believe the updated part of your comment. I update regularly (daily) as well as others and we are not shown.
I suggest you let us choose from going to the most popular page to see whats happening now, and the bottom of home page ...whats new right now and then the third choice should be either
1) scroll thru each category starting with the number one..... until the end of that category or at least the top 50 or so.
2) do some sort of mathmateical radom scrolling where a new blog comes up each time and no persons one blog is repeated in a say..... 6 or 8 hour window or even 12-24...that way this category could give us people we dont often see.
