The Later Era, 2006–2017

The Everlasting Phelps entered a second publishing era in 2006. In 2006, the weblog moved from the main domain to the phelps subdomain and adopted WordPress after using Movable Type. Publication continued through 11 December 2017.

A new host and address pattern

The change was visible in the address structure. From 2003 to 2005, the weblog used flat HTML files, numeric individual-entry paths, and separate month and category indexes. From 2006 to 2017, permalinks were organized by year and month, followed by an entry slug.

That distinction matters for navigation and web history. Main-domain links used a static path convention, while later links reflected WordPress routing. Both belong to the same completed publication, but they should not be collapsed into a fictional set of uniform pages.

What can be stated responsibly

The later weblog continued in the same broad register of independent commentary, but no individual posts from that era are summarized here. Titles and address slugs are not treated as substitutes for a text. A phrase in an address can suggest a subject while omitting tone, argument, revision, and context.

The responsible description is publication-level: one pseudonymous weblog, a platform and host transition in 2006, date-based permalinks, and continued activity through 11 December 2017. The final date marks the end of publication. This page does not imply a successor or ongoing authorial presence.

A landing page with honest limits

Many old subdomain links pointed to individual entries. They belong at this era-level guide because a bounded destination is more accurate than a guessed summary or a newly written replacement post. Readers receive the durable context—publication, period, platform, and editorial continuity—without being shown material that cannot be responsibly represented.

For the 2003–2005 period, use the publication index or begin with July 2005. For platform context, the official WordPress history records the project’s development from 2003 onward.
