When folks ask me “So how exactly did your uISV come about?”, I generally tell them to go to the start of the blog and start reading. Unfortunately, blog software is generally designed to be read from most recent to oldest.

Its simple and effective. Thanks a bunch, I’m sure some folks will find it useful.

So what we need is a software tool that converts blogs to PDF, in chronological order. These ebooks can then be printed out, emailed, archived, and read offline, independent of web servers or blogging systems.
But to solve your problem, Arik, we need not go that far. Blog engines could easily incorporate a feature that toggles the reading order. I think I’ll suggest this to the WP Team.
