An Unexpected Exercise in Archiving
Like the Lord, Examiner.com giveth and taketh away. Around the middle of
this year, I was informed that everything I had written in 2009 had
been "unpublished." This came without any warning and probably had only
to do with the fact that those articles did not fit with the change in
page formatting. (There may also have been a tacit assumption that
anything written in 2009 no longer had any value.) The Content Director
who was my point of contact suggested that I could just republish them
in the new format, indicating when they had originally been published.
This turned out to be a rather time-consuming process; and I abandoned
it when one of those articles got unpublished again. Fortunately, it
turned out that I had the rights to the content; and there would not be a
problem with my creating my own archive. I have now used this blogging
tool to do so; and the new "archive blog" was completed today. I may be the only reader, but at least I can use the search tool!
