If the blog has hidden the links to the archive and I want to test if it is a fairly new blog or not (or just a spam blog with few posts), I usually press the RSS button in my firefox browser to look at the feed. As the default for Wordpress RSS posts is 10 (and often left untouched), any less posts than this on the feed will usually tell me this is a very new blog (and many spam blogs still have the 'hello world' there as the first post). Totally untech I know. The ideas above are much more useful! Good catch Doug, I hadn’t realised you could find out this way - so simple too!

I needed a good blogger-based blog as an example and yours was top of mind. It's not about quantity - the quality of your posts and the time you take to edit and post them is evident! Doug Hi Paul!

I needed a good blogger-based blog as an example and yours was top of mind.

It’s not about quantity - the quality of your posts and the time you take to edit and post them is evident!
