I've been recycling my posts recently.
I do this by creating links to previous posts to underscore a point that I wish to make.
Unfair people* might suggest that this is puffery to pad out posts but I just ignore them.
******************
I'm fortunate - and of course my readers are fortunate in that I haven't deleted my entire blog and a decade of post history like Richard (of RBB) did last year. Remarkably, old Richard had written some pretty smart stuff over the years - kind of like finding gold in a slag heap but now it's all floating about in 'the ether' somewhere.
Readers in the blog community, in another way are also fortunate that Robert frequently deletes his posts and sometimes his entire blogs. Who knows where these go to - maybe there's an 'ether' version of the toilet somewhere.
Happy reading!
