I've recently performed an overhaul on the categories page of this site, which is what brings up all the posts of a particular topic. Right now, the content is broken down into the following sections:
CRITICISM
PROJECTS
MISC
Under each heading is a list of sub-headings, which previously linked to an archived list of posts from that sub-heading. In the past, that archive was just a list of links and dates. Now, clicking on one of those sub-headings provides the reader with a brief description of the sub-heading, full-text of the five most recent posts, and the rest of the posts archived as links.
This should make the site a little more pleasant to navigate. It also gives me the flexibility to change the focus of the category on the fly. This is much better than a column of links.
