How to Find News and Updates from The Fringe Files

Updated

The Fringe Files posts its news and updates on the homepage of thefringefiles.com, where recent blog entries appear in reverse-chronological order with their publication dates. As of the site's current homepage, the three most recent posts are "Formatting a Stage Play: How to Beginner's Guide..." (Friday, December 27, 2024), "A Decade of The Fringe Files: Founder Michael Starr Looks Back..." (Friday, December 06, 2024), and "Rediscovered DVD Trailer from 2011!" (Monday, November 25, 2024). If you want the latest from this West of England touring theatre company, the homepage is the first place to check.

What you'll find on the homepage

The homepage functions as a running feed rather than a static landing page. Each entry shows:

  • A post title — for example, the script-formatting guide or the founder's retrospective.
  • A publication date — written out in full, such as "Friday, December 27, 2024."
  • A tag — visible labels like Thoughts or The Curse of Miss Fortune Trailer that indicate the kind of post.

The three most recent items mix formats: a practical writing guide, a company history piece, and a rediscovered trailer. That range tells you the blog isn't limited to announcements — it also carries craft advice and archival material.

How posts are organised

Posts are grouped by tags rather than by a separate news section. From the homepage evidence, two tag types appear:

Tag What it covers Example post
Thoughts Commentary, guides, and reflections "Formatting a Stage Play" and "A Decade of The Fringe Files"
Trailer / production tags Media tied to a specific show "Rediscovered DVD Trailer from 2011!" tagged The Curse of Miss Fortune Trailer

If you're following a particular production, the production-specific tag is the fastest way to pull up its related media.

Browsing older updates

The homepage is paginated. A "Page 1 of 41" indicator appears at the bottom, with an "Older" link to move further back. With 41 pages of entries, the archive reaches well into the company's history — consistent with a company that has been producing new plays collectively since 2010. To trace how the blog and the company evolved, work backwards through the pages rather than expecting a single chronological index.

Practical steps to stay current

  1. Open thefringefiles.com and read the top three entries — these are the newest.
  2. Note the date on each post to judge how recently the company has published.
  3. Click a tag (such as Thoughts) to see related posts grouped together.
  4. Use the "Older" link at the bottom to page back through the archive.
  5. Check back periodically, since new posts appear at the top of the feed as they are published.

What the site does not currently show

The homepage evidence covers blog posts, tags, and pagination. It does not display a newsletter signup, an events calendar, or social media links, and no contact details appear in the captured content. If you need those, look for a menu or footer on the live site rather than assuming they exist on the homepage itself.
