The Everlasting Phelps Archives

The publication used flat HTML names for category and month indexes. Category pages explain recurring labels and writing forms; month pages show which broad subjects shared a particular stretch of the weblog’s early run.

Monthly Overviews

The monthly sequence is intentionally selective. It includes only periods whose material supports a responsible subject overview; gaps in the calendar remain gaps. In 2003, topics included war and postwar debate, election and party strategy, firearms policy, press criticism, weblog exchange, Texas observations, and humour. In 2004, those strands continued against an election-year background; January and July 2005 showed continuity before the platform transition.

The later period

The 2006–2017 guide covers the move to a WordPress subdomain and the publication’s later run.

How to use this index

Choose a category to understand a recurring editorial container, or choose a month to see how different containers appeared together. The emphasis is on publication history, taxonomy, and context.

The routes themselves are part of that history. Month filenames use a four-digit year, an underscore, and a two-digit month; category filenames keep the original lower-case labels and underscores. Those conventions remain visible so readers can move through a coherent record.
