Daily entries from the 17th century London diary
You might have noticed, when reading annotations on a screen with a narrow width, like a phone held vertically, that a handful of annotations were slightly mis-aligned and some of their text disappeared off the edge of the screen.
Almost a couple of weeks into the new year and the diary, here’s a collection of updates about the site.
I’ve been running this site for twenty years now (I look so young!) and as we begin the third decade and the third reading I thought I’d try something new – I’ve set up the ability to financially support the site, using Ko-fi.
As previously mentioned I’ve moved the email list for receiving each day’s diary entry, and you can now subscribe at Buttondown.
As far as I know, the recent server move has gone smoothly, with nothing (new) broken. I’ve made a couple small changes to the site recently:
If you’re reading this, then you’re seeing the site on a new server. I think everything is working OK, but if you come across anything that’s unusually broken do email me to let me know.
Thank you all so much for taking part over the past 9 years and 5 months – or however long you’ve been here for!
I’ve made a few tweaks to the In-depth Articles section the first of which is to re-name it simply “Articles”.
I’ve just opened up an API for accessing data from the site, something that might be useful to other developers. If you don’t know what an API (application programming interface) is, no need to worry, and you can safely ignore it!
NOTE: The Groups.io list described here was closed at the end of 2022 and replaced by one at Buttondown. See this Site News post for more info.
As mentioned in the previous post, I’ve changed the service used to send each day’s diary entry out by email, which means people need to subscribe to the new service (instructions here). The old service has now been switched off.
