Medieval and Renaissance Food and Miscellany

» Those of you who enjoy Geoffrey Chaucer's delightful blog may also enjoy perusing Cariadoc's Miscellany (especially the "Articles in Persona") and the Medieval and Renaissance Food Homepage. I love, love, love these old-fashioned webpages, and they are a dying breed. Every new site, it seems, is a blog (as if that's the only way to order information) and no one seems willing to put up a plain, unstyled piece of information anymore.

"Every new site, it seems, is a blog (as if that's the only way to order information) and no one seems willing to put up a plain, unstyled piece of information anymore."

Crazy, isn't it? I know several web-sophisticates who are lamenting that they feel trapped by the mechanism of their blogs. They like the convenience of the blog tool, but want to post different forms of info that don't fit in their tool--or only fit as if they're a blog post.

In my various endeavors, I regularly get to create plain web pages, and there's a lot to be said for them. Perhaps this is part of the appeal of wikis...

I still use composer to create my website, not blog.
