Embedding Timelines – On this day content
By Sean McBirnie
In total we have over 300,000 timelines mostly created automatically from Wikipedia categories and we've started collecting timelines related to events that happened on different days in history. To start with the majority of entries will be timelines of works by notable people who were born on that day. For example American actor and director Buster Keaton was born on the 4th of October, so on the page for that day we have listed a timeline of films directed by Buster Keaton (see embedded example below) and a filmogrpahy timeline showing the films he appeared in. These are only a tiny selection of the timelines available on Histropedia, see the bottom of this post for more ways to find timelines to enrich your content.Looking for new content for your blog?
