Scroll up & down

Does anybody know why we have to "scroll down"
when opening a blog
instead of scrolling up?

Why are posts added to the TOP instead of the BOTTOM?

Remember how a real bookmark helps us keep our place in a
book we are
reading?

Why can't I place a "real bookmark" on my blog
that would tell my
browser:

"Go the the LAST line of the last post on my blog and
fill my monitor
screen form the BOTTOM up with my last five posts."

Isn't that the way you (used to) work with your old paper
diary and
have the option of starting a new post?

Or "Go the FISRT line of the last post on my blog and
fill my monitor
screen form the TOP down with my last post and place the
other four
last posts ABOVE."

I guess that's what people did when they wanted to take a
quick look
at where they left out, the last time they wrote something.

Did a lot people, who write from left to right, ever started
filling a
diary, notebook or whatever form the last page UP, so that
the last
thing they wrote would always be on TOP?

On every computer that I have used with a scroll bar it goes
both UP
and DOWN. How about you?

Please pass this message to the people at Microsoft and
others who
keep designing new versions of Office suites where saved
documents
always open on the first line of the first page, when what
you want to
do is continue where you left out, at the bottom of page
20.

It's for the convenience of the readers. You're just used to
the traditional 
book-manner of first things first. Your readers are moving
across the net at 
high-speed. If your post is interesting enough to hold them,
it's likely 
they'll find their way to your beginning. A couple of
bloggers have keyed 
the introduction in on a link that says something like,
"if you're new to 
this site, click here." If your intro is needed, do
that.

Anyone can bookmark a location on any website (and leave
comments if
necessary) using Trailfire.

Its kind of like Digg or Delicious but it leaves a sticky
note like a
post it on a specific place in the website.

Site

It can be very useful and you can syndicate bookmarks and
sticky notes
too!
