How do you browse blog posts on ActiveRain?

As most people that have been viewing this site for any amount of time know, we're in a constant struggle to create a better experience for our users.  One of the main issues is how do allow users to most efficiently view the blog posts that they want to read.  So I want to pose this question to our members, how do you currently browse through posts?

Do you just look at the featured ones? Yes, but they tend to be the same, well written, strong opinioned people and I know I'm missing good content elsewhere.  Time is limited.

Do you browse through them by date, order by highest rated or most commented on?   Date  I forget that rating thing and cheat many that I read by not rating them.

Do you only read the ones marked as "For real estate professionals" or do you read others as well?   Others

Do you use the associates groups to select your favorite bloggers and view your associates blogs?  I have thought I should not set up associates with people whom I have not 'met', but the point made earlier about being able to quickly access the associates' blogs, etc. and get to them has given me a different picture of setting associations.

Do you use the now blog archives feature to show all the posts for a day on a single page?   I haven't had time to get through the fresh stuff.  I have used the search option to locate people, but not much else.

Do you prefer to see the full blog post or a short summary and then click to view the full post?  Summary and click if it's not too much work for you.

There are so many voluable members making good comments.  I see the blogs needing more refined topic sorting which then takes them into the sphere of message boards and forum threads.  Mostly, just keep up the good work.  

I know it's a lot of questions, but inquiring minds want to know...
