This Is This

I realise it may be very boring talking about the working of this site, but I’ve done a bit of work on this site overnight and you read this so you may be interested. We’ve come a long from the early days of the first post I ever wrote on here in October 2004 when the site looked like this

So, anyway, two things.

1. Become a member of the This Is This street team
I found out how to do an email thing so you can tell your friends about this site with very little effort from you. Just click this link, put their email in the To box and hit send. That’s it.

Why not give the gift of websites this summer. And get this - 6 months’ free Gold Club membership to anyone who does.

Spread the word - send This Is This to a friend

2. Archive
I discovered this week that there was no monthly archive before July 2006. It was all there, and you could search for individual posts, but it wasn’t set up right from the nav bar on the right?

Want to read the first month of this blog?

Want to rubberneck on the perspective of a news editor before, during and after the July 7 bombings?

Actually this is interesting because no one suspected anything and everyone reacted the same. Read from the bottom up. Live 8, conversations about god, a train journey on the bomber’s run the day before, London attacked, reaction and relax. Read from the bottom up, since the oldest post are at the bottom.

The weekend song tomorrow is actually two songs. Think of it as an A side and a B side like when we had vinyl. That’s records, kids, in the days before the Internet. OK, it’s an anachronism.

Have a great weekend.
