Blogging yesterday

Here's an interesting twist on blogging. While most bloggers post reactions/ruminations/commentary about current events, Shorpy is dedicated to old news -- real old news. Billed as "A 100-year-old photo blog", Shorpy features public domain photographs and news items from the early 20th century, like the Lewis Hine photographs of child laborers. Sadly, requests for comments have gone unanswered; the chirp of crickets resound though the site. I had the same problem with a blog I created last year, which was basically my 1965 diary transcribed with added commentary and pictures. It would be cool to find more bloggers who are blogging primary sources from the past, as it seems to be a tantalizing use of the medium.
