    Full publication crawl

    Recovered article and page records from the live Weebly host using the prior discovery audit. Unique permalinks preferred over legacy /1/post/ duplicates.

  2. 2026-07-22

    Article recovery count

    217 articles restored with readable bodies. Additional records remain unavailable and are held as preservation notices.

  3. 2026-07-22

    Page recovery count

    160 static and nested section pages restored (including hubs for Prisms, Curtains, Gaming Corner, and related collections).

  4. 2026-07-22

    Media assets

    607 image files copied into local archival storage where the original host still served them. Missing images retain layout placeholders.

  5. 2026-07-22

    Stewardship polish

    Removed defunct AdSense chrome, rewrote internal links to restored routes, normalized metadata, and rebuilt author and category indexes. Historical wording left unaltered.

  6. 2026-07-22

    Duplicate consolidation

    Removed forty dated legacy-path duplicate article files that mirrored existing pretty-permalink restorations. Junk feed and pagination URLs excised from the page set.

    Finding aids

    Timeline, series detection, archival search, and catalog statistics layered around the publication without modifying blog chrome.

  8. 2026-07-22

    Author archives

    Author bibliographies generated from exact bylines as published. Identities were not merged (e.g. DG remains distinct from Dakota G.).

    Contextual materials

    Museum-style essay, history notes, methodology, highlights, special collections, and this restoration log added outside the preserved publication.

    Historical completeness pass

    Gap-fill against the live host recovered the full About Us staff roster (six profiles with biographies and portraits) previously truncated to a single writer. Gallery widgets remain empty on the host. Seventy-seven known URLs still return 404 with no recoverable Wayback body in this pass.

  11. 2026-07-22

    Preservation seal

    Archive marked historically complete and sealed. Mutating recovery scripts require --force. Canonical author route corrected; mangled internal archive links repaired; stewardship documentation filed for long-term maintenance.

    Advocacy documented as unrecoverable

    Advocacy recorded as a known original section with no recoverable page bodies or media in current sources. Documented on Publication History and as a Known Section placeholder under Special Collections — content not reconstructed.
