Archive complete -- in honour of the Queen

Six months since Prince Philip died. It's odd how often very-much-married couples do die within a short space of one another (I think we were all expecting the Queen to go on to over a hundred, as her mother did) -- but when people reach extreme old age, I don't think one can really draw any specific conclusions from that.

I decided to mark the Queen's passing (and apologies to anyone else who is shocked to learn of it here, as I did, via a casual aside on someone else's Internet blog) by finally completing the upload of my old MySpace blog entries, a task which had been hanging over me for years -- and which had, in fact, originally been undertaken as an import into my old LiveJournal blog, created in August 2010.

Tagging sprint

Following on from yesterday's labours, I think I have now also completed the task of going through and adding the tags film-review and british-film to all the entries between July 2014 and December 2007.

Posts which were originally accessed by clicking on a date from the archive view get a URL in the form of a date rather than a link to the specific post, and when viewed in that format they acquire a convenient "previous day"/"next day" link at the top of the post!
