One of my biggest pet peeves about blogs is how amnesiac they are; they place such a primacy on the latest post–indeed, in the case of the majority of blogs who fixate on political headlines or personal minutiae, the only value in what they post is how up-to-the-minute they are–that once a post slides down the screen and into the archives, it’s effectively flushed out of existence.

Nathan has started a ‘Recycle Bin’ feature, where he reposts old (in blog terms, a few months old is ancient) posts. I’ve been thinking of doing something similar, especially as, with growing visitor numbers, a lot of current readers have never seen the old posts.
