weblog tertua?

The famous diary that Samuel Pepys (pronounced PEEPS), once the head of England's Navy, kept during the years 1660-1669 is being made available online in the form of a weblog. Phil Gyford, who conceived the idea, is converting the diary, which was already in electronic form as part of Project Gutenberg, into weblog format using software called Movable Type. He added Pepys' entry for January 1, 1660 on January 1, 2003, and, since then, has continued to add a new entry each day. In its current form, Pepys' weblog allows a reader to create a public annotation, asking or answering a question or perhaps explaining some now obscure 17th century term that Pepys uses. The weblog site includes an overview and other historical background. Hypertext links are provided where Pepys mentions historical events and specific people. [ sambung baca ]
