I don't think it's a function of the changeover, just the different styles of each blog. See: http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/usa/ http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/sport/ for example. Perhaps some of the already relaunched blogs were more like Sport and USA? No – it’s just inconsistent from blog to blog, post by post.

And also wrong that it signals an end to a 'traditional blogging approach' , whatever that might be. The reason we have migrated our blogs is , as explained, that it makes posts appear in our archive search , on keyword pages, on author pages etc etc. We also have the issue with external platforms of adequate scale for their growth in popularity. But all feedback is welcome. Emily Bell director digital content guardian news and media Hi there – Ashley is wrong – there has always been the ”read more’ approach.

Looking at OrganGrinder and PDA as examples - I've clicked on the link to them from the MediaGuardian navigation bar and their links in the blogs section.

Ashley Norris is wrong. They've always been structured with the first part of the story and then a "read more", even on Movable Type.

Lots of 'continue reading' links on the new design. @pm If you compare the new design e.g. on the news blog – http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/blog -to the existing design when you view the front page of OrganGrinder there is quite a big difference to my eye.
