During the Fall of 2006 some work will focus upon augmenting in new ways the original effort made here; i.e., to help visitors cooperate to lift up essays which the visitors find most: interresting, helpful, well-written, stimulation, etc.
One part of the plan is to encourage participating visitors to focus attention during each successive month --- upon essays written during successive-portions of-all-the-years during-which-essays-have-been-written, using the following schedule for the-current-academic year; since it seems clear that most visitors here are students in institutions of higher education.

Of course visitors are free to look for whatever essays are likely to be "right" for them. If, however, you would otherwise be looking randomly at the full time span from 1973 to the present, you can help in this effort by being guided by the above considerations. Efforts will be made here to facilitate such focused searches. It is not yet clear what will be the most helpful way to facilitate such focused searches. Some possibilities are in mind.
You are be encouraged Portions-of-Years to be focused on them of-Writing-essays: During the Month(s)
1973 - 1975 Sept-Oct 2006 1976 - 1978 November 2006 1979 - 1980 December 2006 1981 - 1982 January 2007 1983 - 1985 February 2007 1986 - 1988 March 2007 1989 - 1991 April 2007 1992 - 1994 May 2007 1995 - 1997 June 2007 1998 - 2000 July 2007 2001 - 2003 August 2007 2004 - 2006 September 2007
One possiblity is to insert into each individual essay a line which says something like: "This essay was written during month cyymm = "a7310" if it was written during the 10th month of 1973; or "This essay was written during cyymm = "b041012" if it was written during the 10th month of 2004. Then inclusion of "a7310" or inclusion of "b0410" in a search string might focus the search on the given month. Any number of months might be specified as acceptable, and so focus searches as suggested above. This idea has not yet been tested; but it is suggestive of what it might be useful to do. Instead some unique lable for each group of years might be inserted into a line in each essay. That would be less awkward for for visitors to use. A workable way can be found!
The purpose of focusing attention is to increase the possibility of "popular" essays showing up in monthly webalyzer reports, so that visitors can become aware of which essays have received more attention than others. In the absense of any effort to focus visitors' attention, very few essays show up late in the monthly webalyzer reports. Essay web pages show up in webalyzer reports most in the first few days of each month, when the numbers of visits to all web pages are still low in the accumulating monthly total --- which starts at zero at the beginning moment of the month.
Even if there were an average of 300 serious "visitors" to essayz.com each day who looked at an average of two essays on each visit, during one month that would total 300 x 2 x 30 = 18,000 essay-hits in an average month. If there were 18,000 hits distributed randomly over 7,600 essays, the average hit rate would be about 2.4 hits per essay in one month, and there would be only a small chance of any essays showing up at the end of the month, because essays must compete for attention with the higher hit rates of the MUCH-FEWER web-pages which are not-texts-of-essays. Thus, the sugggested effort seems to make good sense.
When it was decided to begin the above effort on September 16th, google announced on September 16th its own augmentation of its search tools. Here visitors will be encouraged to take advantage of google's new search tools --- in ways suitable to this web site essayz.com. It will take some time to figure out just how best to help visitors use google in this overall cooperative effort.
Thus, efforts will be made here to help interested visitors to focus their attention in ways which will
make clear in month-end webalyzer reports which essays here --- have been found by visitors to be most:
interesting, helpful, well-written, stimulation, etc.
=======================================================================
The essays are designated according to the dates they were written; cyymmdd# where "c" = "a" means the century of the 1900's, "c" = "b" means century of the 2000's, yy means the year, mm means the month, dd means the day; and "#" is the sequential-count of essays written in the given day.
The column of numbers at the right of the hyper-links --- indicate how many times that particular essay was searched for in-one-particular-month. It is notable that only one of the following indicated essays --- was searched for in two different months.
To read any of the following essays, just click on the underlined hyper-link to see the essay; starting with the keywords which pertain to the essay --- leading to the writing of the essays; or in retrospect, characterizing the essay.
