New Sunday gimmick idea
09.11.05 (10:24 am) [edit]
You may have noticed that my Sunday pop quiz posts have dried up. The reason for that is that I have run out of cool photos of things that are worth doing a post about. When I have some more, the pop quiz will no doubt return, but for now the cupboard is looking a bit bare on that front. I have a new idea though for a recurring Sunday gimmick, but before I get into it, I need some input from my readers.
I was thinking that a sort of This week in history-type post on a Sunday evening might be good. In such a post, I would highlight a selection of important or significant historical dates coming up that week. I'd probably also provide a link or two to interesting resources or websites about each event, and if an event bore any personal relation to me (i.e. if I could remember it occurring etc.) I might add a few personal thoughts about it. Obviously, my this week in history posts would be anything but comprehensive and, like everything I write here, they'd be skewed towards the things that I find interesting. But let's face it, if you're reading this at all, you're used to that by now.
So, my question for you is this: what do you think of that suggestion? Would this week in history posts be something that you'd be interested in reading? Or is that not of interest, or something you'd prefer to source elsewhere? I'd be interested to hear what you think about the idea, and depending on the response, I'd pick it up from next Sunday. So tell me what you reckon in the comments.
Actually, while you're about it, tell me if there's anything you'd particularly like to see on this blog. Are there any topics you're itching to see me cover? Is there something I've been consistently overlooking and which deserves my attention? Or is there something you wish to God I'd shut up about? (Don't bother telling me to drop the Zimbabwe issue though, because that ain't going to happen any time soon). No promises, of course, that I'll a) listen to you, or b) be able to deliver what you're after, but I would be interested to hear suggestions and other constructive feedback.

I think this week in history would be cool. Educational and possibly entertaining as well, if not only to see what Mr Bear is biased towards in history :)

This week is history would be cool. I think I'd like to see more on what you think of Germany as a sojourner. Like a feature on "something odd/interesting" every week. That's just me though. I prefer the cultural stuff over the political/historical.

I love KiwiZ's response.
I enjoy history and think it would be a nice feature here.
