After a decade of blogging, more and more, I'm triggered to reread and share old posts on a myriad of topics.
No matter how relevant or informative, it always feels like something from the archive is well--archived--historical, even if not dated.
How to solve?

Not sure - seen some solutions:
1) People featuring a "on this day one year ago" plugin that resurfaces serendipitous memories
2) Blogchains (whether or not you call it that) that allow you to link posts together to say this thinking lead to this thinking lead to...

Second is interesting and you touched on it in your webinar.
For most of us who blindly just write on WP sites, how viable is this?

Thanks.
Interesting concept.
Not only is this good for the reader, good for brand building, but after hundreds of posts over years, it is helpful to the blogger to chart their own thoughts and evolution.

I've thought a bit about blogchains in WP, haven't done much w/ it yet but could be an interesting plugin!
Would be cool to have a simple way to append an outline to any post, w/ internal or external links (single or multiplayer blogchains) or even other ways of organizing…

I'm writing up some ideas for possible 'blogging megastructures', ways to make blog posts feel more connected; less siloed. Making things more evergreen, accessible, surfacing best past material = great point too!

For historical posts, many blogs have a "best of" or "start here" page w/ manually curated posts highlighted. But I think many other ways to approach too.
Would be interesting to think through actual plugin design for blogchains. I think maybe has looked into this?
