Posting Issues

I've become aware that the archive feature of Blogger does not operate satisfactorily. When you click a month and year in the right margin, you are supposed to get a full and complete list of all the articles for that time period. Instead you get a partial list. Some, but not all, of the missing articles may appear in the previous month's listing. This means that some articles are not available anywhere in the archives unless you happen to know the perma-link. While most readers don't make extensive use of the archives, everyone should have access to all articles. This is a new problem since years ago it did not happen. It could be an issue of pagination. It could be that my articles are too long. But I still feel that everyone should have easy, obstacle-free access to all articles. The same problem exists with the so-called "labels". You should get a complete list of all articles that carry a certain label, but often it is only a partial list. I have, for example, hundreds of articles labeled Nicolas Sarkozy and Jean-Marie Le Pen. Apparently Blogger sets limitations on such things.

On a different note, recently I received some comments complaining that François Desouche was "off the air". However, when I checked, the problem had been resolved. I did not post those comments; however, if things like this happen, I like to be made aware as soon as possible. FDS has had many difficulties in the past, but always manages to come back.
