This is a very good idea. I write a blog on “Java Programming Best Practices”, and very often a post will be relevant for a long time after it was written. But once it finds it’s way into the archives it is usually buried.

Your idea of linking old posts from a wiki is a very good one. That way readers can find old but relevant posts quickly.

I have also been thinking about the concept of “starting points”. Many blogs have a wealth of information, but it’s flowing and elementary (but useful) information is in the archives never to be found. Very often when someone is learning something new, they need a “starting point”. For example if I want to know more about Ajax, I can find several blogs and resources on the topic, but they are not useful to me initially. What a new learner needs is a starting point. Most good blogs have the relevant information in old posts but it is difficult to collate it.

I think I will also start a wiki which has links to old posts and a series of “starting points”
