Cross-posted from the European Tribune
Ever get fed up searching for that old diary with a brilliant insight you want to refer back to? No? Me neither. But I do sometimes need to reference an old diary for good or ill and it can be a pain to track back through all those ancient spiels especially when you can’t remember when you wrote the piece you want to quote or reference. In addition, many of my friends are not really into blogging but occasionally express an interest in a specific diary. Almost invariably they have difficulty finding it in the maelstrom that is ET.
To save myself and them a bit of hassle I’ve compiled an index of my previous diaries on various topics and attached a link to this diary in my sig as a short cut to this index. It’s sort of like creating a personal home page or blog list within a community blog. I hope ETers don’t mind me doing so by creating this diary which is primarily of personal interest. In no time it will disappear down the recent diaries column and out of your way and accessible only if you click on my sig.
I got the idea from Jérôme’s Windpower series link in his signature which gives a handy reference guide to those researching the topic. This could also be an idea for ET vers. 2.0 where the use of a limited set of tags for Diaries could programmatically generate such blog lists by topic. I’ll leave that one for the techies…
