...or how I created another blog with over 2000 posts:
The Holmes Basic G+ Community Archive
What is this Archive?
The top post explains what the archive is, and I've copied the intro over from there:
This archive [which is a new Blogger blog] preserves most of the posts made to the Holmes Basic D&D Community on the late G+. I created this Community in late 2012, not long after Communities were added, and it existed through April 2nd 2019, when G+ was shutdown for non-commercial users. By the end there were over 600 members. While most were not active, there was always a core group of commenters to keep things interesting.
There are over 2100 posts included, made by myself and various members of the community, each accompanied by its original comments. While a number of posts (~500?) are shares and thus duplicative of posts on the Zenopus Archives blog, these have been saved because they include different comments. The other ~1600 posts fall into two broad categories. I often used G+ for quick shares of images and links of interest to the community, material often not posted to the ZA blog. And then there are the many posts by other members of the community. A big thank you to everyone who participated!
Some highlights include (to be updated):
Michael Thomas providing updates on the progress of his retroclone Blueholme
Jon Wilson organizing contributions for two issues of the Holmes-art inspired zine, FEI
Chris Holmes joining in 2016 and becoming an active commentator
Tony Rowe with scans of Holmes' & other D&D magazine articles
Weresharks and Skull Mountains
[The post continues with some technical information about the posts, labels and images]
Z! - Thank you for the amazing amount of work you have done over the years connecting this community, encouraging and preserving its creative efforts!
