The Later Archive, 2006–2017

The Everlasting Phelps entered a second publishing era in 2006. The weblog moved from the main domain to the phelps subdomain and used WordPress rather than the Movable Type setup associated with the earlier pages. This guide records that transition and the span of publication without recreating individual later entries.

A new host and address pattern

The change was visible in the address structure. Early pages used flat HTML files beneath the archives directory, with numeric individual-entry paths and separate month and category files. The later site used paths organized by year and month, followed by an entry slug.

That distinction matters for navigation and web history. A link to the main-domain period points into a static-looking archive convention, while a link to the later period reflects 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 directly supported early period, use the archive index or begin with July 2005. For platform context, the official WordPress history records the project’s development from 2003 onward.
