Blogging in the 17th Century
This meme deserves to be spread: Samuel Pepys’s blog demonstrates much that’s good about the internet, and the blog form. Where relevant, entries are cross-linked and people and places are linked to background information (including online maps). But more significantly, comments and trackbacks allows a wealth of related information, provided by visitors, to gradually accumulate around the text. A truly worthwhile project.

(HTML is OK. Two linebreaks are converted to a <p>, one linebreak to a <br />. Represent all occurrences of <, >, and & by character or entity references, i.e. <, >, and &.)
The author (of the site, not the diary) comments on the rampant meme the site quickly became, including a BBC News article.
