Staff / From the minds of Ars  What’s your favorite way to
browse news archives?  Ars has lots of old content, most of it
not easy to get to. Someone do the UI …  <!-- Paper mountain!
--> There have been roughly 2400 posts in the Ars news and
journals since January 1, 2007.  On weekdays, the writers
average 27 posts per day.  In a perfect world, that content
would be available to any reader with a minimum of effort. In a
perfect world, I'd also be able to divine a pulled pork sandwich
and an Oreo milkshake out of thin air.  Regular site visitors
will notice that there's no real interface for browsing old
content.  It's all there and available, provided you're willing
to next/previous your way through the whatever you're reading. 
Alternatively, you can munge up a URL and pick a particular day,
month, or year's worth of posts to view.  The obvious "solution"
is a date based post browser, and it's on the list of things to
do.  However, as the amount of content increases, something like
that becomes less useful.
