The First Month There Was Anything to Report
Opened with three categories and no readers
Month
First month
The archive opened with three categories, six entries, and nobody reading it. This entry was written to establish the habit rather than because the month warranted it.
What Existed
Three categories and six entries, all written in the same fortnight by the same person.
Who Read It
Nobody. The archive was reachable, but nothing pointed at it and nothing announced it.
Why This Was Written Anyway
Because a monthly record started in the month it becomes interesting is a record that begins with a gap, and the gap is always the part anyone later wants to read.
| Field | At month end |
|---|---|
| Categories | 3 |
| Entries | 6 |
| Public routes | 0 |
| Readers | 0 |
Starting the record before there is anything in it is the only way to avoid a record that starts halfway through.
