Steps Back in Time

So this morning we'll start with an introduction to how my archival links are organized and how to find material of interest.

Firstly, the categories I use to partition the links . . . while I may add others in the future, I have found these sufficient to date (and assume the names are self-explanatory):

Science and Technology
Global Warming and the Environment
Politics
Economy
Islam and Terrorism
Russia and Allies
China
Government and Society
Weird

I add new links with three elements: a date stamp (which takes the form yymmdd, that is, 081019 is equivalent to 19 October 2008), a title (generally identical to that used on the source web page, though occasionally supplemented with a brief explanatory note of my own, and the actual url.

To begin my archival process on Blogger, I'll now begin to create a set of individual posts corresponding to each of the preceding categories; these will comprise the links that already exist in my source .doc file.

Let's get started . . .
