Try one of the many links to an MSDN blog which are "in the wild". The content is archived but still there, so you'd think they'd redirect you to the archived version, right?

Wrong. They redirect you to the "Archived MSDN and TechNet Blogs" page[^], with a list of letters to select the first name of the blog you were looking for. You then have to search through multiple pages of the blogs starting with that letter to find the blog you want, and then search through the archived posts from that blog to find the post you were looking for. D'Oh! | :doh:

It's not rocket science. All they had to do was redirect:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/{blog}/archive/{year}/{month}/{day}/{slug}.aspx
to:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/archive/blogs/{blog}/{slug}
