For some time now, I’ve been wanting to organize all of the
relevant posts and essays here at Thrilling
Days of Yesteryear into easily browsed sections to help newcomers find
older things they might be interested in…and at the same time, give me an
assist when I want to reference a past review for something I’m currently
writing. So you can now find all this on
separate pages under “Thrilling Days of Yesteryear: Almost the Truth – The Lawyer’s
Cut”; for example, all of my movie reviews can be found under “Movies,” not to
mention those written by our resident guest reviewer, Philip Schweier. There are also sections for our movie-related
features like B-Western Wednesdays and Crime Does Not Pay—both of which I
hope to resurrect someday. (I probably
won’t resurrect “Movies I’ve Stared at Recently on TCM”…only because my folks
make that an impossibility.)
Other sections include “Serial Saturdays,” where you’ll find
links to all the chapter plays snarkily discussed here on the blog, as well as
pages devoted to “Mayberry Mondays” and our current popular feature (it reads
here) “Doris Day(s).” There will also be
a new Doris up on the blog tomorrow.
(Hey…hey! Let’s not turn into an
ugly mob, shall we?)
Under “Blogathons” you’ll find the essays that I contributed
to all the ‘thons I’ve participated in since 2009 (and some folks say that
there are a lot—I will let you be the judge) and finally, “TV, DVD and
Miscellanea”—articles on TV series, DVD reviews and things that just wouldn’t
fit anywhere else (I hope to be able to resurrect “Twisted Television” one of
these days as well). If you’re looking
for anything else…well, you’ll have to use the search engine or the Blog
Archive. (We can’t lay everybody off—these people have
families, ferchrissake…)
Oh, and you’ll probably find that a few posts were taken out
to the incinerator; back in 2008, I featured some of the hilarious Scott
Bateman animations from Salon.com (well, they amused me—others maybe not so
much) in this space but in combing through the blog archives I found that they’re
no longer hosted there…and since that’s the case, there’s no need to have them
here, either…unless you enjoy looking at blank space. Salon seems to do that vanishing act a lot—for
example, I know a certain nostalgia blog that vanished from their site many
years ago.

I will admit I do miss the old blog design-- it was one of the few places around that did three columns well-- but I'm glad to hear you're cleaning up the archives. There are so many blogs I love where it's a pain in the butt to find stuff. Thanks for doin' it!

Well, I did have a twinge of regret when I changed it...but after staring at it for five years I decided I needed something different. But I appreciate the kind words, Danny!
Ivan,
"the Uniform" entry in the Doris Day(s) section takes one to a blogger sign-on page.

"Imagine my embarrassment!" as Ms, Thelma Todd would say. It has been fixed.
