You may remember that a while ago I mooted the idea of making a Daily History community. I had lots of great feedback, so thank you everyone <3 In the end, I decided to make a livejournal community because I wanted it to be separate from my normal fandom and real-life journal where historical entries would get lost amid the clutter, and because I wanted it to be open to people I regularly interact with and I know not everyone I know on LJ uses tumblr (which was another good suggestion for it).
Anyway, here it is! All my name ideas were taken so after about seven attempts it took '1066 and All That', which is the name of a famous and very very funny spoof book of British History from 1930 (I recommend it).

As it says in the user info, the aim is to post an interesting thing every day, be it a fact, a news story, a book/film/documentary rec, an Interesting Person, whatever. I like to leave it as open as possible because history is such a huge and varied subject area.
I hope it won't end up being too Anglo and early modern centric. I would really love people to PM me if they come across something they think would interest people so as to give it some variety!
Lastly, excuse my icon. I don't know how to make them so I just downsized my favourite portrait of Elizabeth Tudor :D
