A bump for a re-up

[layna61524]

@FredDerf: Thank you for the WayBackMachine link and your PM. I am adding Max (+5) reps for this.

@macalixter and egyptiankingwarrior: If your re-up request is for my original post, then I'm sorry to report, there is none.

I posted an anonymized direct link to Bob Bly's site in June of 2018. It worked like a charm until it was shut down by Mr. Bly. I suppose too many people rushed there to grab all the goodies and he put an end to it.

I keep saying that the best way to get access to good downloads is to click the VIEW NEW POSTS link at the top of the forum masthead as soon as you get here. It has been almost 7 months since I first posted this! And since there was no all-in-one download link, there is nothing I can re-up.

You can use the recent link added by FredDerf to find some Bob Bly newsletter content. That WayBackMachine page can look intimidating (that huge calendar makes it look like nothing is there!) but all you need to do is click on the little dates that are highlighted with a colored circle. Click one at a time to be taken to a website where you will find content from back issues of Bob Bly's newsletters.

No --- it won't be an easy-to-grab download link. The content will be in html format but you could copy-and-paste the content into a Word or other document and make your own PDF after some minor tweaking of the formatting.

Yes --- it will take a little extra time to do all this for each of the highlighted dates on all those calendars but sometimes a share isn't in the form of a quick and easy download link.

But because inquiring minds want to know, I retraced my footsteps and searched for Bob's newsletter archive again. All you need to do is Google 'bob bly newsletter archives' and there are 2 links that pop up. Use either one.

A new page loads that has a drop-down list of languages. Mine was already set to English so I clicked the button at the bottom to continue and got this page:

I'm not good with Wordpress stuff but it looks like either his site is down and this is the starting point for building a new page or he is now trying to collect data from visitors to his archive. I don't know. But I am posting this just in case you want to proceed to see if you can finally access the information I shared in my post last June.

Give it a try. Just select your language and click continue to be taken to the next page.

Then click 'Let's go' and see where it takes you.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful but whenever I post direct links to content, my purpose is to show you everything that is available. I may not want any of it but you might; so I point you in that direction.

But What Has Me Scratching My Head in All of This Is That ...

At the very top of my post, I updated the information to clearly explain to late-comers that Mr. Bly has removed the link yet, as recently as yesterday, I get a re-up request.

It makes me wonder if people even read anymore before rushing to the MAGIC BOX area.

I could ask Lala to remove this thread but then FredDerf's link will be thrown out with it.

And Since I Don't Like Sending People Away
Empty-Handed ...

Here are a few links to other Bob Bly stuff (free articles, resources for writers, etc.):

Lastly, I suggest you go over to Library Genesis (libgen.io) or {{{Blocked by Omni Potens, reason: reports from LEGIT GB STARTER}}} ({{{Blocked by Omni Potens, reason: reports from LEGIT GB STARTER}}}.org or {{{Blocked by Omni Potens, reason: reports from LEGIT GB STARTER}}}.xyz) and search the library collection for Bob Bly or Robert Bly. You should find a few gems there.
