About this site
This site is topic-sorted, not date-sorted (blog format)
This site is topic-sorted, not date-sorted (the blog format). The blog format has 2 huge advantages:- It is date-sorted. So you can drop in regularly and see exactly what is new since your last visit.
- The links always work, because what you are reading are always recently-created links.
The disadvantage of blogs is it is often hard to find similar material grouped together by topic. I have gone for this approach, so this is more a topic-sorted library than a date-sorted blog. This site is similar to a blog in the sense that:
- A lot (but not all) of it is about current events.
- It's by an individual.
- It's full of annotated links.
- I add links regularly as I read new stuff.
- I add the new links all over the site in different topic areas.
It will also not be quite as stable as a blog:
- Links to a (date-sorted) blog always work,
since they are links to things like:
blog entry number 09832,
and there is no particular reason to change such URLs.
This page is not updated. Rather, new pages are created.
In contrast, topic-sorted links are to things like: blog section on Iraq. Here, the topic page is continually updated, and growing sub-topics might move to their own separate page, such as: blog section on Iraq War of 2003. So URLs might change on my site - but if they do, it should be easy to find the sub-page direct from the parent page (which will continue to exist).
The Blog
The Blog is the only date-sorted section of this site. It lists the sections I have done major work on recently, though:
- Most of these sections will contain old links too.
- It omits sections I have done minor work on recently.
This is as close as this site comes to the date-sorted blog format.
There you go. Take it or leave it. Hey, at least I have a search engine:
