(And, Joan, thank you for the sweet compliment!) We're working on new features for houseblogs.net that would allow readers to sort the blog feed in different ways (such as style of house, etc.) If you have any requests for sorting, please let us know. Aaron programs that site in his spare time, but we're hoping to have those features available soon. There are some fun ways to sort the blogs and explore. In the upper right hand corner of the front page is a box with the link to "View All 286". I like to sort by Newest, Oldest and Most Viewed. We also have a "map" link that allows you to surf blogs from different parts of the world. And, finally, the houseblogs search feature lets you enter a term (such as "kitchen" or "mess") and it will pull up all blog entries that reference that word. Another thing we hope to do is to allow readers to slightly customize the front page and mark their favorite blogs. Ah, if we only had 30 hours in a day! But we're getting there. (btw, LOVED the link to Canvas on Demand. And I noticed you were looking for new drink ideas...have you checked out the Foodieblogs.net site?) Take care! Thanks for stopping by houseblogs.net!

Also the Home Improvement Ninja (http://homeimprovementninja.blogspot.com/) can be occasionally hilarious.
