When listing blogs in the ‘All Blogs’ view, please append which category the blog is in.
(Okay that was the simple suggestion, but wait, there’s more, if you read on you can also…:)
Better yet, in the main and category views, add the title and/or extract from the latest post, even if only with a mouse-over tooltip-style balloon. (I’m sure I have some code for that lying around somewhere)
I’ll confess I’ve turned into a complete amatomu addict, and after having read each blog’s description/taglines once or twice and having gotten to know many of the blogs the little descriptions become down right frustrating and not very useful at all.
I think this might also become quite useful, if local micro-blogging a la twitter takes off – NO I DO NOT, want to know what you are having for dinner but thanks for the thought :-), to be able to see some basic stats on blogs, e.g. average post length and average content to links ratio. Last especially if or rather when spamdexing (using keywords a little too opportunistically) & splogging (spam-blogging) starts targeting amatomu as Stii considers in his post on our blogging community’s health.

Noted and in the pipeline. Thanks Andre.
Kewl, and just in case you guys haven’t heard it enough, you rock! :-)
B.t.w., the comparing apples with pears issue might also be worth looking at. I’m thinking it shouldn’t be to hard to have icons indicating, how many authors a blog has, maybe even indicating if it is a commercial/personal. I don’t think you guys need to ‘read’ that kind of info, can simply be put up as part of the profile admin – the community will sort out the crap if they have ‘handles’ on what’s what so to speak.
