I stared blogging in 2007 and it seems that I have either gotten, lazy, forgetful, nonchalant and or distracted. I recently went blog searching and found one that interested me and was so glad that her blog was set up with labels so that I could quickly go to the areas I was interested in. It got me to thinking about my labels and was I ever sorry to see that many times I was not putting one or had multiples with different spellings and etc. so I have spent a bit of time trying to clean them up. I worked through to 2016 and then decided that was enough. What I hope it has taught me is that it is important to follow through. It also inspired me to go back and re-read all my posts and I found it to be as heart lifting as going through an old photo album so if you find yourself looking for something to do give it a try.
I discovered several other things in my looking back project, I have just settled in and no longer search for new contacts and new interests. There was a blog that I loved http://pattybilline.blogspot.com/ called Simple Joys. Her last post was in 2012 and then she was just gone. I still on occasion go back land look at her site and am always uplifted by her wonderful talent. I really believe she could have put her pictures and writings in the form of a book. I went through her site again recently and starting looking for followers of hers and found 3!!! I am so excited to get to know these three ladies and have left them messages. I guess there is a lesson to be learned.....You get out of something what you put into it.
I never label my posts and I should! I've been blogging since 2008 and recently went through some old posts looking for something. It's fun to do, but somewhat melancholy to see those pictures of kids now grown!
ReplyDeleteI checked out Simple Joys. Her photography was gorgeous!
Mari , I am thinking of sharing a few in her honor:)
ReplyDeletei have a "search" for my blog and that usually works well for finding things. i don't know how to add labels to my posts!! (hangs head in shame)!!!
ReplyDeletei looked at "simple joys" and you are right, it is an awesome blog, with beautiful pictures!!
Debbie on blogger there is a place on the new post page to do that but maybe you use a different venue.
ReplyDeleteI find blog labels helpful when I find a blog post I like under a certain category and would like to read more of the same. I do label mine for the same reason. I imagine it must be a long and laborious task to go back and label old posts. You must have a lot of patience. :) Blessings to you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me and leaving a comment.
ReplyDeleteFascinating to look at some older blogs. I always wonder what happen to those that don't post any longer.
