Finding Old News

How many times have you tried to research a post and not been able to find that 6 month old article that you kind of remember….? It has happened to me more than once!
Now, google, has taken a big step toward solving that and related research problems with the introduction of Google News Archive Search. Yep, you are no longer stoppered by Google’s old 30 day limit.
I ran several tests and a search for (clinton opium) brought up a result from the Clinton, Iowa Mirror dated March 14, 1896. This result came from newspaperarchive.com, a pay service, so Google must have some kind of arrangement with them.

23:35 CDT The admin crew will be working on an upgrade to Movable Type 3.31 and there may be some breaks in service and messy templates for a while.

01:07 CDT Well, the upgrade is done and I see that there is already a Version 3.32 but that will have to wait. Let me know if you notice any strange behavior.
