Spotlight
“Spotlight” was a category on the old site; the links to it are still live, so its pieces are listed here.
3 pieces, filed between and
This is an index page. It holds the old category “Spotlight” — 3 pieces in all — and nothing else: the writing is on the pages it lists. The newest filing sits at the top, which on an archive of this age means the most recent thing that was said under the name rather than the most important.
The filings run across 2015. Nothing here has been refreshed, re-headlined or brought forward — what you read is what ran, carrying the date it ran on.
New work on this side of the site goes to Nets rather than onto names like this one. The desk carries 130 pieces, and the section index lists the other seven with their counts.
There is no editorial layer on this page at all — no rating, no ranking, no note steering you towards one item over another. The order is chronological and that is the whole of it.
Names were applied by hand as the pieces went up, which makes them uneven: some subjects carry three and some carry none at all. The archive and the section index do not have that problem, and both are worth trying if this page came out shorter than you expected.
One note on the numbers. They are recounted from the archive at every rebuild, so they describe the site as it stands rather than as it stood when somebody last edited a page by hand. That is also why they occasionally disagree with an older copy of the same page.
