Reading Old Posts
Do you ever go back and read your old posts? I do it now and again and I always discover something I forgot I wrote.
I’ve always said that the content I write here, first and foremost, is for me. A very close second are all the fine people, like you, that read my drivel. With that in mind I occasionally like to go back and read some of the stuff I’ve written.
Sometimes that’s perusing through the chronological list of posts, and other times (to be honest, most of the time) it’s using my random post link.
Over the years I’ve written hundreds of posts on this site, and of all that content, I can only remember a small fraction of those posts. That’s because they’re often something that’s on my mind at the time, and I inevitably move on with my life and forget what I wrote. So it’s fun to go back now and then.
I was doing that last night before bed and I came across a few posts that I had completely forgotten I’d written. For example this post where I stew on whether to start a new blog for my various interests, or whether I just categorise posts on a single site. I thought that was quite timely, given my previous post Why Have Multiple Blogs?
