# Kingsley 2.0

A preservation archive of the kingsley2.com tech blog (2003-2012) with modern retrospectives on Salesforce, WordPress, jQuery, and early Web 2.0.

## Editorial method

Each archived post is sourced from a single verified Wayback Machine snapshot taken before 2013. Original URLs, original publication dates and snapshot URLs are stored in post metadata and exposed in the BlogPosting JSON-LD via the citation property. Restoration edits are limited to: removing the Wayback toolbar HTML, fixing broken images where a sibling snapshot exists, and adding a header note that distinguishes archived material from editorial annotation. Modern retrospectives are clearly labeled and never edit archived material.
