So after the "recycling" of the 2013 Aaron Swartz blog post went well last month, Michael and I were thinking we should post SM for old posts from the Wikimedia blog more often.
Here are some candidates that already continue to receive a non-trivial baseline of pageviews: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/05/14/ads-on-wikipedia-your-computer-infecte... (perhaps rather after the fundraiser, or with a message explaining the difference between and fundraising banners) https://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/08/02/seven-years-after-nature-pilot-study-c... https://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/04/17/carry-the-entirety-of-wikipedia-in-you... (this one is even more popular and also more general - not just Android - : https://blog.wikimedia.org/2012/04/09/download-the-text-of-the-entire-englis... Unfortunately it's outdated and we haven't yet gotten Emanuel to write a new one.)
And two which I think are suitable based on their topic: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/10/23/do-you-know-whats-around-you-let-wikip... https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/09/04/sixty-ways-to-help-new-editors/
Other ideas, or thoughts about the above?

These look great! The fist post especially, seeing as we're kicking fundraising into high gear:)

Sounds like a good idea to me.
The Aaron Swartz blog post was just cited by someone over the weekend, and made for an interesting read to me, since I had not seen it before.
Done in moderation, links to good evergreens like this could be a fine addition to our more current posts.

Thanks everyone for the feedback! Seems we have quite a lot of other content to post currently, but these will come in handy to keep the traffic up later. Here are two more posts that seem suitable: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/01/23/lets-throw-more-wikipedia-editing-part... https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/07/30/wikimedia-foundation-now-accepts-bitco... (during the fundraiser; perhaps in response to tweets such as https://twitter.com/MADinMelbourne/status/543948981693214720 )

I think the bitcoin post could work right now. Monitoring our sm feeds, that question comes up frequently.
