Archive.fo seems to have changed to Archive.ph in the last few days, but still works.
>>Yes, I also found when going through my account that there's a lot of meta I wrote which wasn't tagged as such.<<
Basically unless I'm writing something like a character study, it just doesn't occur to me to tag as meta.
>> I like that you brought up the How To issue as it seems to me I rarely come across tutorial type posts than I used to.<<
Yeah, and people rarely write fan manifestos or ship manifestos anymore. That's sad because those are such great ways to pull new folks into a fandom. But two of my biggest pieces from Snowflake this year were how-tos.

I do some "how do use Dreamwidth" stuff too.
Anyhow, I've finished going through the How To posts and tagging relevant ones as meta. Progress.
>>I imagine a meta about Thing would find a lot of readers! I only just finished watching Wednesday last month.<<
