[...] I have just added a bit of code that bounces the user from the homepage to the info page of the blog they came from (assuming it is listed).For example, go to my blog then click the link to Blogwise in the post. Although the link points to http://www.blogwise.com the browser will be directed to the bloginfo page.This has been requested a few times, and it’s clear that a number of blog owners intend to do this anyway (those with the knowhow point directly to their bloginfo page). By linking to the bloginfo page I hope to involve blog owners more in their own listings (e.g. by reinstating comments, adding stats and whatnot).However, it might cause a bit of confusion if you’re intending to link to Blogwise.com home page. You can get around this by linking to http://www.blogwise.com/?nb=1 (which’ll stop the bouncing).I’d be very interested to know whether this feature is useful, pointless, or completely annoying. We’ll see how it goes for a little while and tally up the feedback at the end to decide whether to continue running it or not. [...]
