I have been reading on AR that it is a good idea to update old posts for several reasons. Here are a few I have seen: 1. When you first start blogging you don't know much about key words, white space, meta tags, etc. 2. As you progress with posting you become better at making your posts appear more appealing to readers using the AR platform 3. You didn't realize initially you should be creating links to other posts you have done. 4. You have learned about a new HTML editior that will make your posts look much more appealing to everyone and really stand out.
Katarina did a wonderful post on Nvu. I am in love with it! My posts look so much better now and it is really easy to use and you can work offline. So, finally, my question to the group is: What is the correct blog etiquette for reposting your old blogs?
Is it proper to redo your old posts in Nvu (or any other great editor you have learned about since joining AR ) and reposting them and deleting the old ones? Are you "double dipping" in terms of points? Will other bloggers think you are being lazy and rather than writing new posts you are just recycling?
With the new option of having your posts also go to an outside blog it seems a wise move to make them look as good as they can but will anyone at AR have a problem with the reposting?
Thank you Katarina for all you teach the newbies at AR. You are a God send to many of us. Your blogs are always informative and inspirational. I was sorry to hear about your colleague.
