WordPress recently featured A Hundred Years Ago in its list of 11 Delicious Food Blog Examples (And How to Follow Their Lead). It is #3 on the list. I’m very humbled and honored that this blog was included. There are lots of incredible food blogs on WordPress sites.
According to WordPress, A Hundred Years Ago was selected as an example because the posts:
- Make something old new again: Part of what makes A Hundred Years Ago so successful is that it archives and digitizes recipes and cookbooks that are likely not online elsewhere. An archival focus can help your blog stand out in this highly digitized space and guide content creation.
- Keep a content schedule: Posting on a regular cadence can help keep your audience engaged and keep you accountable. For example, in addition to a weekly recipe every Sunday, Sheryl posts more general musings about food from the early 1900s each Thursday.
Congratulations, that’s a great honour and well deserved.
Thank you!
How wonderful! It’s a well-deserved honor: something which your readers have known for years!
I really appreciate the long-term support of long-time readers like you. I’ve enjoyed getting to know you across the years.
Congratulations, Sheryl! The honor is well deserved.
Thank you for the kind words. My thoughts are with you. We’ve both been blogging for a long time. I’ve enjoyed getting to know you via our blogs and comments.
Way to go Sheryl! Love reading your posts!
Thanks! It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoy this blog.
Congratulations! I also like that you make the recipe and change it to modern times. PS, I was going through Christmas recipes and found a similar cranberry pie from your last post. I guess I need to make it.
Thanks! I really value your wonderful support over the years. It’s awesome that you found a similar cranberry pie recipe when looking through your recipes. You’ll have to make it for the holidays. 🙂
Wonderful and well deserved!
Thank you! I’ve really enjoyed getting to know you via our blogs.

Congratulations! The recognition is well deserved. I have learned so much reading your blog, but it has also triggered so many memories. (The mink stole story brought to mind my mother’s desire for a stole that’s a story unto itself.)
Thanks! I have so much fun doing this blog, and it’s wonderful to hear the things I write about bring back some warm memories. You should write up the story about your mother’s desire for a mink stole. Mink stoles had a certain aura back in the day. 🙂
Congratulations! It is well deserved! 🎉
Thank you! I really appreciate your support.
I love reading your blog! I learn a lot.
Congratulations again Sheryl! I was delighted when you sent me the article!

As everyone has already said – congratulations, and so well-deserved.
Thanks! It’s been lovely getting to know you via our blogs. It’s been so much fun sharing our insights over the years on the similarities and differences across the two sides of the Atlantic.

Yay You! Very happy news : )

Thanks!
Sheryl, many kudos to you for this recognition! As a former blogger, I recognize the hard work and satisfaction and community that all of this gives you (and us!) You are a true archivist (and sharer of the goodies!) Keep on cookin’ . . . and truckin’!
Thanks for the kind words. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know you. You’re one of my longest readers, going all the way back to “the diary days.” Your blog, as well as your comments, were always so thoughtful, and a few gave me new insights into art, growing up in Pennsylvania, and other things.
Well deserved! I’ve been reading your content for years, since you were posting the diary entries. It’s always so good!
I really appreciate your long-term support. You’ve been reading this blog for a really long time if you remember back when I posted daily. I am so fortunate to have wonderful readers like you.
So excited to see your amazing blog getting honored – congrats!
Thank you!
congratulations!
Thanks!
Congratulations, Sheryl! Wonderful!
Thanks! I appreciate your persistence in trying to find this blog and the list. I feel very honored that A Hundred Years Ago was included in the list.
You should feel honored. You have worked hard and provided many with joy and good food.
Bravo!
Thank you. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know you across the years.
Congratulations, Sheryl! What a wonderful recognition for the work you do. I suspect your blog is indeed unique due to the kinds of recipes you feature, and tweak for the current times. I enjoy reading the originals, and the women who submitted those recipes to various cookbooks. Maybe Faulkner was right when he wrote that “the past is never dead. It’s not even past.”
Thanks- I really appreciate all your support. Your thoughtful (and often researched) comments have enriched many of my blog posts. The discussions that you and others get going on this blog are so much fun.
You are welcome, and obviously, your blog generates interest and comments. I do enjoy learning more about the people and places, and foods you write about, and what the newspaper archives have to say about them, but it is the conversations among the wonderful readers of this blog that we all enjoy so much I think. It is fun, like sitting around the kitchen table having coffee with our neighbors.
I am so fortunate to have wonderful readers like you and the others. It feels like we’ve become old friends over the years. All of you make it fun to do A Hundred Years Ago.
