Make Your History Content More Accessible
Whether it
be a blog or a social media group, how can you find the information you
want? Face it, history blogs produce
great treasuries of content but not so great pathways of accessing it. We over-rely on that old search box. Key word searches cannot be the end of
content management.
We history
bloggers can do better. We must better index
our content.
History
blogs need both the equivalent of a front-of-the-book Table of Contents and a
back-of-the-book Index. Major pathways
for the history blog should be: (1) geographical by region, (2) chronological
by era, and (3) categorical. Major
categories of history include political history, military history, social,
cultural, economic, and religious history.
How much
more likely would you want to use a blog that allows you to drill into the
content through gateways such as those suggested above?
