It seems that updates to entries are actually considerably less notable than new entries, and don't deserve the front-page prominence I thought they did. </p>
<p>
A minute ago there was <a href="/weblog019" title="Apostrophes">a bit on apostrophes</a> on the front page. It's an old <abbr title="version">v</abbr>3.0 weblog entry about a contrivance I had to use then. I've updated it to say I'm no longer using this contrivance (i.e. the entire entry's redundant and irrelevant) and it makes the front page. </p>
<p>
Obviously this won't do. I've rejigged the gubbins (technical term) and now the entry that was <em>written</em> last (rather than <em>updated</em> last) makes the front page. The title remains “The Latest”; although that phrasiology was only chosen to be ambiguous about whether it was a new entry or an update, “Latest Entry” just doesn't seem to have the same mojo. </p>
<p>
The Recent Updates list on each page is now a Recent Entries list, too. Also, something I tweaked a little earlier: if the latest entry has any Related Links, they now appear on the front page with it, instead of the Perpetual Links - they get boring after a while). </p>
<p>
By the way, my use of the term “Recent Entries” in <a href="/brandnewcms" title="I've Got A Brand New Content Management System And I'll Give You The Key">the blurb about the Mooquackwhatnotbot</a> was just a cockup on my part - not a prophecy, nor a conspiracy. </p>
