YorksPast

Within days of my post Marking 100th YorksPast Post with a Tiled Mosaic; Post Index and Future Plans, several readers told me that they really liked the index for quickly discovering my older posts. As a result I started to add that link at the end of all new posts.

One of those readers told me, “It’s just like reading the headlines on various pages or sections of the newspaper.” She liked using my listing of headlines sorted into broad categories; especially the ability to see all headlines in each section at one time.

I have to admit that I’ve used this more then any other of the many methods to go to a specific older post. Here, YorksPast headlines are sorted into one of 11 categories.

Updates To Older YorksPast Posts

If you’ve checked the one-room schoolhouse index lately, you’ve noticed that I’m continuing to update the location index as additional sources come to light. This will continue as an ongoing update on a schoolhouse-by-schoolhouse basis. When major updates are done, posts will point this out along with features on selected schoolhouses.
