My point is that using control+f is easier for finding builds than is manually looking for the build in question yourself, regardless of whether or not the builds are alphabetized. Easier still is being able to click a link and go straight to the build, which is what I plan on adding in once I've finished completing the builds. Given all of this, to me alphabetizing the builds seems like a waste of time. As a final note, neither Paths of a Paladin nor The Daedric Princes, yet, to my knowledge, you haven't voiced any complaints about either of those builds not being alphabetized. Please understand I'm not trying to be offensive, but rather make a point.
I agree, High Elf is not the best race for every build that uses magic, and these builds reflect that. For example, the Knight uses Illusion magic (the High Elf's specialty), and I didn't bring up High Elf there. While I won't deny that Ancestor's Wrath is useful for melee builds, I don't think it would be a good build to suggest for every melee build, particularly since you could get more damage from Berserker Rage anyway. As for the Sorcerer bit, a Sorcerer is a mage in heavy armor, not a magic tank (unless the player chooses to make it into a magic tank).
I see your point on the build info/skills bit. I'll change that in a bit.
I write my builds for the members of the Skyrim Blog, for a couple of reasons. First of all, unlike the people who simply go to Google, type in "Skyrim" and hit search, the Blog has a good understanding of the game that is Skyrim, meaning I don't have to explain every little thing. I do not, however, assume that they know every little thing I know. Otherwise, this build would be a lot shorter. Secondly, they are the only ones who can give likes to the build and therefore save it from deletion. Even if everybody outside The Skyrim Blog who saw this build liked it, if enough members of the blog don't like it, it is subject to Deathmatches and therefore risks possible deletion.

Actually, Dunmer don't get a boost to One-Handed. Primary reason why I recommended High Elf over them is because I prefer High Elf's Magicka bonus and Highborn ability, though both races are good choices, hence why both are listed.

I'm not sure about Paths of the Paladin, nor Daedric Princes (I'm assuming those are other Builds List threads?) I didn't know you're planning to jumplink, I'm guessing, in some sort of index at the beginning? Regardless, any kind of Organization would be better than none. It would look less like it was thrown together at random if it had some rhyme, or reason to it than if they were just thrown together at random.

I'm quite surprised that you haven't heard of either of these, particularly Paths of a Paladin, as that is tied to one of the most popular builds to ever appear on the blog. I plan on incorporating a Table of Contents with links like the one in Paths of a Paladin. Doesn't get easier than clicking a button and being directed to the build you want.

Ok, there's almost 500 Character Build: Threads alone on here. I've been doing my research to make my builds better by your (Plural) criteria, but I've not yet had time to read all of them, even all of the best. Don't take it personally, chalk it up to another assumption.
Paths of the Paladin: Congratulations, my +1 makes it a nice even 100. Now, I've seen a lot of Paladin builds, and one thing the all have in common can be summed up by quoting me whenever I see them: "Paladin of What?" With out a God, or at least Faith, there ain't no Paladin. You not only didn't fall into this trap, but even Indexed several builds, each with lore friendly faiths, and aspects of them. Excellent.
Moving onto the Daedric Princes, but keep in mind that I HATE people going for the evilest stuff for the sole reason that it's the evilest stuff, so I might be a little biased.
Have some patience, there's a whole lot of reading to be done on this site, and only one of me against everyone posting content. I may never truly get caught up..

Nobody's expecting you to have read every build on the site, but still, it wouldn't hurt to learn about some of the more popular ones, particularly since they're referred to a lot.

I am, as fast as I can read, but there's a lot of Popular ones too. (Last count, almost 50 just in the 80+ rank.) I'm mostly getting to them as they're referred to me, and that's two more off the list. Thanks for the links, even if you Assumed I had already read them.

Added all the classes. For the time being, I'm adding "(Completed)" to the title in the hopes of attracting those who blew off the build the first time because there wasn't enough builds and those who liked the original but not this one. Hopefully this'll get at least 20 likes, because if it doesn't, I'm going to be pissed.
I can't seem to create links that go directly to the build (for example, a link that goes directly to Spellsword, instead of the top of the page), so for the time being, I'm using a basic table of contents.
