Digging into your blog archives

That nice young Aussie chap Darren Rowse came up with a good idea today. And I thought I'd pass it on to you, as his Problogger site doesn't have much reach, and we really need to share some of his good ideas.

His suggestion was that we should delve into our archives for some of the good stuff we wrote in those early days when nobody except a lost search bot was reading our sites.

I thought it was a top idea, so I looked back at the first two months of this blog, and pulled out my favourite ten posts. Looking back, the writing was OK, but I sure had some issues with formatting, and it seems I hadn't discovered the joy of images.

I'd love you to take five minutes over a cup of coffee and say hello to a very green and naive Mike CJ, and let me know which of the following you love or hate.
