Reading Guide

A (somewhat) comprehensive guide to the blog restoration project bringing as much of my blogging as I can find from around 2000 to the present back to the web. This guide mostly is complete, but it’s not guaranteed that I’ll be able to locate and recover everything.

Early blogging was done by hand, with a switch to Blogger in late 2000. Late in 2002, I transitioned to using Moveable Type. Somewhere in the 2010s, I mostly moved to WordPress but also used Tumblr. By 2020, I also was experimenting with different sites and services including Write.as, Micro.blog and (now) Weblog.LOL.

During the migration, links in this guide are to the Wayback Machine unless the site in question still exists online. If a site’s migration has been completed, its entry will link to its source page here.

Disclaimers

For the purposes of this restoration project, I’ve edited any photo posts to remove all photo(s) in favor of linking them on Flickr, but the actual text of those posts has not been altered except to include such links.
I’ve made every attempt to conform all internal links so that any posts that previously linked to my blogging elsewhere have been edited to link the relevant post here, privileging ease of internal navigation over historical fidelity.
Posts originally containing embeds of any kind (e.g. Twitter, Vimeo, etc.) have been converted instead to link the source page for the embed.
Posts containing any kind of book links likely will be conformed to use IndieBound for reader convenience, unless posts specifically cite a particular source for the books.
On posts that had updates after initial posting, I’ve conformed them all to my modern style, which is an Addenda heading followed by an ordered list containing each update as individual list items.
