The utterance is itterative. At the highest level of resolution, each word is a mechanism half made of inner-speech and half of muscular action, and half of one's hearing oneself. It is a living thing which circulates meaning between its various parts. At the highest it does the same at the level of whole works and perhaps whole languages.
If we take Bakhtin seriously the organic model for a blog would be well considered. To envision this as textual cells within textual tissues would imply a faculty of adjustable scale: zooming into concentric utterances.

Unnatural Limitations of this blog

Arragement primarily along the axes of popularity, date, alphabetization, or arbitary selection
Attention of readers is measured only by headcount. Imagine if conversations at bars were measured in this way.
Multiuser fuctionality, the only context in which speech can be created is not prevented, of course, but it is managed as poorly as is possible.
Rectangles impose an order which implies at best two axes of connection (usually priority of general imporance or authority vertically and temporal priority horizontally). This often be useful, but it should be used only when useful.
