🔗 Archive Your Old Projects // Arne Bahlo

Occasionally, you’ll need to move to a different domain, for example when re-doing a website. When talking to Ollie about this, he told me that some people leave their old websites online at <year>.<domain> and I love that idea3.

You can look up old content and redirect links, so your URIs stay cool. And in ten years it’ll probably still be online.

I don’t know how one would go about doing this, but I do think it’s a swell idea.

@jarrod I did this when I changed mine recently and I’m gunna try and go back to do the other ones. https://2023.rknight.me

@kev @jarrod I have done nothing because I didn’t think about that until just this second.

But yes, canonical link in the head plus robots disallow should do the trick.

@robb @jarrod phew, good work. I have my old projects just sitting here ready to do something like this...

@jarrod @kev A link like this in your `head` tag:

<link rel="canonical" href="https://rknight.me"/>
