yeah! I actually tried the Wayback Machine/Archive, and sure enough my blog is there. However, I designed it to just have (say) 5 lines of content under the header, then the reader would clock on "More" to read the whole article. This is because the blog was originally designed to be accessed on a WAP-capable phone (https://youtu.be/Da8_4NqxLM8?t=18 https://youtu.be/Da8_4NqxLM8?t=18). Sadly, in my case this meant running a database query and of course the Archive doesn't support that as there's no database :/ I just need a couple of days to have another look for that CD ...
- mgdlbp 4y agoI feel a particular mix of disappointment and loss(?) every time I encounter an interesting link on a long-dead site only to find that the target, never saved, is lost to time. And the same for pages with crucial, unsaved images. Better the proverbial ignorance, I guess. Though, have you looked at the Wayback Machine Site Map and URLs views for your blog? On the off chance that the Alexa crawler could already extract URLs from JavaScript back then, there's a possibility that additional requests were captured that can't be played back in the Wayback Machine. (This all assuming the site was served over HTTP to the crawler--otherwise it would have only gotten an 'unsupported' page, right?)
- FerretFred 4y agoI tried, and failed. I shall know for next time :( The Wayback Machine has not archived that URL. This page is not available on the web because of server error Click here to search for all archived pages
