The Trouble with Archives

Filed under: Blogging, The Stop Button — Andrew Wickliffe @ 11:48 pm

I’m slowly updating The Stop Button with full archives. I’ve got a lot of the posts, not enough for a full recovery, but probably around 75%.

Except I’m dropping anything under 250 on the actual subject, which is losing a lot. Then there’s the actual writing. It isn’t very good. It’s very familiar, suggests I think I have an audience, which I was never sure I did.

Today I went through June 2005 and dropped most of the posts. The ones I kept I edited, but it got me thinking whether adding these posts to the Indices section of the site was appropriate. I could just have the Archives for people who cared.

Then I changed my mind again and decided to go with the halved month.

I’m not sure when the style of my posting changed so much, maybe when I got Sandvox. Or when I read about it and realized it could give me the site I wanted.

I keep waiting for this trip through the archives to get interesting, but it’s mostly just embarrassing.
