Our blogs here at The Tribune/SanLuisObispo.com are undergoing redesigns and Photos From the Vault is on deck.
When the blog was launched it was an experiment in seeing if other people were curious about what was in the dusty negative boxes in the back room as I was.
Turns out you are. I was surprised to learn there were page views from every continent except Antarctica.
Stupid penguins.
Thanks for all your comments and page views.
If you have any ideas for improving the content as always feel free to post a comment or send e-mail. Several of the posts have been updated in response to your questions and comments.
I went with the first title idea that hit me, but you may have a better one.
The idea to get across is that these are old photos from the files of The Tribune, formerly known as the Telegram-Tribune. The photos range from the nostalgia of yo-yo contests to historic memorial services for national leaders.
I like to think of it as thinly sliced, well aged moments of time from the Central Coast wrapped in a warm, freshly made blog and seasoned with a few snarky comments.
Trust me, it’s hard to get it into a short snappy title.
I can’t offer you any more than the lasting satisfaction of knowing you have changed the Internet for the better. If I get enough entries I can post an online poll in a week, but keep in mind that I will use my powers as super delegate to make the final decision.
Send me your ideas at dmiddlecamp@thetribunenews.com
Nominations close at noon May 19, 2008.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again — penguins have no respect for history.
I really like “Photos From the Vault”, it says it all. I picture you going to a dark dusty archive room and sorting through some boxes and finding treasures that you then scan and post here. I think the name says it all…

I like “Photos from the Vault”, too. It conveys a great mental image, and it has a nice ring to it … like “Tales from the Crypt.”
