Now that I’m getting back into this blogging groove, I started to think about my old blog, “Girl, Uninterrupted: Confessions of a Not-So Dangerous Mind.”
When I decided I was really and truly done with writing and publishing forever, I pulled the plug on the blog and deleted the whole thing. Erased it entirely, like it had never existed.
Before I did, though, I made an archive through LJBook, and now I have a 3,230-page PDF of posts written between July 2001 and December 2010. My entire blog, in one oddly formatted document. Seriously, it’s entirely devoid of apostrophes (they’ve all been replaced with two spaces for some unknown reason). Also, all of the “smart” quotes face the same direction.
Like I said: oddly formatted.
Lately I’ve been toying with the idea of doing some sort of spin on Throwback Thursday, and republishing “classic” posts from the old blog on this one. Is that weird? There was some really good stuff on there. Stuff it might be fun to put back out there. Or would that just be double-dipping?
Thoughts?
If there are posts on there that you are proud of and are still relevant why not publish them here? It’s your work and your words so why not?
Hey, thanks for the encouragement! There’s one post in particular I’m thinking of right now. I might pull the trigger tonight!
I’m totally new to blogging. Just dropping by from Nahblahblah… but from what I’ve seen, re-posting is quite common.
Reposting one’s own content? Or just reposting content, period?
Either way, I think I’m going to do it!
Good luck with NaBloPoMo… 🙂
