Old Posts


Do you have old posts you wish everyone had read, but they are so far back no one ever does?

Do you wonder whether you should have one of those "Guide to my blog" kind of headers up - I see them around but even I never delve into the links, and I am an avid back-blogger.

I was looking for something I wrote a while back. It took me ages to find it, but when I did - wow! I have been thinking for a while that I ought to go back through and delete a lot of the old posts which don't mean anything any more. But then the comments would be lost. Some of them are from bloggers I have lost touch with. Or just not visited for a while. Some are from wonderful people who suddenly moved on without a trace. There is no way I can check it all for things I would be sad to destroy. So I guess maybe I will leave it all as it is.

It's three and a half years of my life!

But maybe there are a few posts that people I have only known for a year or two would never find. Maybe I should update them and bring them forward one more time. Or have any of you who have been around a long time any favourite posts you wouldn't want to see deleted?

You shouldn't delete any of your blogs.
It would be fun going back over them years later, and see if you have changed in that time.
If nothing else, you might get a laugh out of re reading them.

    Quoting  :

I like to read back like that too, often the deepest, most revealing stuff is near the beginning of a blog.

Maybe the problem I have with other peoples lists is that they are too long - like ten or twenty links under each of five headings. Maybe if I do it I will make it a sticky post with links back to posts which reflect something I am thinking about now, so that people who want to read back know what might be relevant.

But they probably won't read them anyway, lol!

Yes certainly parts of mine are like a journal too, even though I very rarely post about day to day stuff.

I didn't know you had been reading back here lately Zandi. I like that. What have you been reading?

And thanks for the compliment. (You know you have helped to inspire a few of the best posts yourself. )

I think I agree about not deleting, although there might be one or two dark days, quite a few would make me smile broadly.

I like the headers on blogs with things sorted, and I find it makes me want to look deeper.

Elevate me...

If you are deleting your blog the only way uou can save the comments would be to cut and paste them I think. Otherwise just leave it all in place....

Great to see you again after so long by the way.
