The Monarchist gets Delicious
The Monarchist has overall been pretty satisfied with Blogger as a simple user-friendly system to work with. One weakness I do deplore, however, is its grossly inadequate filing and indexing function, which provides for archiving of entries by date only. This is just plain dumb, since if one wants to refer to an article he posted six or eight months ago, or three or four years ago, how the devil does he remember where to find it? Obviously it is far better to archive by author, category or location, so that previous work can be quickly retrieved.
Thank goodness for the Internet’s latest fantastic invention then, which introduces to the world an online indexing system called “social bookmarking”. The solution is offered by an online company called “del.icio.us” (herinafter referred to as delicious), which allows bloggers to bookmark and identify their posts using self-chosen tag words. For example, if Walsingham was to write about the London bombings, he might tag his post with the following minimum words: WALSINGHAM LONDON TERRORISM (you can tag your articles with as many words as you choose, but at minimum you will want three: author, place and subject). All posts tagged in this way will allow readers to retrieve past Monarchist articles according to either author, place or subject. Or two of them: WALSINGHAM+LONDON gives you all articles written by the author on London affairs.
But it doesn’t stop there. Delicious social bookmarking goes beyond the borders of your own blog, as you can bookmark and tag any article on the Internet. If Pitt the Younger writes a fantastic article on the monarchy on his own blog, then I just might tag that one too. Bolingbroke who has not yet graced us with his presence nevertheless has scholarly writings available on the Internet that I can tag as well. The possibilities for cross-referencing are endless. They allow writers who might contribute articles across a multitude of media to consolidate all their work under one online database that is shareable to the world. I’m actually quite excited about it.
For contributors to the Monarchist, you need not do a thing. I’ve been busy over the past couple of days tagging past posts (still have a ways to go), and will tag all your future posts myself. If you go to the right sidebar and look under the Monarchist Archives heading, you will notice that articles can now be retrieved by author, by category, by location and by date. Needless to say, each of these will be built up over time; please let me know any problems you are encountering with this approach.
BTW, I will be tagging this post as BEAVERBROOK MEDIA BLOGGING INTERNET
