Archiving Now
While writing my monthly 'Now' page, I was thinking it was a bit of a shame that the previous content was not saved at all. Why write it down if its just going to be over-written every month? I thought it would be interesting (to me at least!) to see how the categories/contents changes over time. Its pretty basic stuff, not really 'subject' specific like I would usually write about but having longitudinal data would be pretty cool. Initially I thought I would just use the 'now' tag but it didn't really sit well with me as it wasn't 'now now' when I was re-reading it, it was 'then'.
Thus the 'then' tag was created and we have 'now' and 'then'.
To this end I have decided I will now save a copy of what I have written (on the 'now' page) and put it into a post with the tag 'then' so that they can be quickly filtered to see the progression over time. As this idea occurred to me halfway through the update, I missed the window for this month so I will start from next month.
