Description

Blogger directory to look up Main/Planet blogs/bloggers and show more complete profile information.
Great example: http://weblogs.macromedia.com/mxna/

Directory should enable navigation to blog/blog entries based on:

• Most popular
• Last Day
• Last Week
• Last Year
• All Time
• Blogs active in the last
• Day
• Week
• New Bloggers
• Last Day
• Last Week
• Last Four Weeks
• Categories
• Languages
• Group blogs

Other front page improvements:

• User browser, make it easy to query, find, page through users
• Weblog browser, make it easy to query, find, page through weblogs
• Listing of most recently commented upon blogs
• Restrict hot-blogs to recently updated blogs
• Make it possible to add/remove group tabs via UI
• Next/previous paging
  o front page and planet page
  o edit entry page

Another suggestion from a BSC reader (http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/jclingan?entry=simply_refreshing#comments):

"Please could you suggest to the "blogs.sun.com" page designers to add a "blogs archive" option such as in the "opensolaris.org/os/blogs" page, so we can get the blogs posted by date ?"
