My Own Wayback Machine
I discovered the other day, as I work my way through this whole switch from Blogger to WordPress, that I inadvertently made the archives of this site nearly impossible to reach. That’s partly a function of the way that Blogger handles such things—it’s driven by a database, but set up to load from the home page. Another problem is that the archives from the first five years, when I was doing the HTML coding myself, are also linked from the old home page, but are not database-driven at all. The new “Archive” link off to the side here is also pulling from a database—but it’s the new, WordPress database, so it doesn’t have all the earlier material. How’s that for confusing?
In an effort to rectify this, I have compiled this semi-comprehensive cheat sheet to collect the archive’s worth of links in one place, starting with my first year on the job.
Original TTAISI Format:
Years 2000 – 2002 – By Subject
Year 2007 – Chronological (partial)
Year 2007 – By Subject (partial)
In the process of doing this, I also discovered what some of you may have known for a while: much of the Blogger archives from 2009 and early 2010 were not working at all. That’s now fixed! Classics such as “Where’s My Gun?”, “It Won’t Happen”, “Au Naturel”, “Inculcate, Not Indoctrinate” are back and more accessible, in all their glory!
