Lost in the Archives.

A procedural note: You may notice categories proliferating along the sidebar to the right. As it happens, the category tags, never very well fleshed-out in the first place, didn’t really survive the move from MovableType last year. So — particularly since I learned in history school that a source is only as good as its archive — I’m going back through all the old (MT) posts and adding more extensive tags and categories to them. (The Geocities Era involved hand-coded html files, so can’t do much there.)

I’m only 200 posts or so in — Hello, summer of 2002. Gee, I wonder if these Harken revelations will bring down Dubya — and it’s already clear this is going to be a slow process. So apologies if you see an interesting topic listed that links to little-to-no content. Hopefully, eventually, it’ll all be up to snuff.

  1. Hey, while you are at it. You might want to look at changing your url structure to have the title of the posts as part of the links, instead of the default numbering scheme. Should help you get some more search engine traffic. You know, if that appeals at all. Just a thought! :)

  2. The problem there is that changing urls from numbers to words would kill all the internal links on various posts. Fixing that would require a massive overhaul and/or 3-4 unpaid interns.

  3. Actually, I take that back — I used this spiffy tool to make sure the postid links directed to the postname ones, and as far as I can tell, it worked like a charm. (Although, upon further review, apparently WordPress might do that sort of updating on its own anyway.)
