Question ~ Blogiquette?
So, I was wondering… Is it proper Blog etiquette to backblog a new(ish) Weblog? What I mean by this is that I used to Blog — a long time ago, before there was such thing as “Blogging.” The few of us who did it called still called it “journaling.” We made postings on our own sites. When we did do a new post, we had to create a new webpage (not very difficult, but a bit more time consuming than updating with Blogger or MoveableType). Anyway, I was wondering about what people thought of adding all of the old “Blog content,” with the same dates and time-stamps, to a new Blog (the effect being that one could annul any of the older, non-read Blogs).
I guess this question is one of many. People frown on deleting items from previous Blog entries, instead opting for the strikethrough. going with a more traditional, proofreader’s standard. It is likely that it is wrong to go back and “retitle” older posts (i.e., if someone decides that they like the sound of “Movies of the Month” as a title for their posts better than “Movie Favorites,” as they’ve used for the past two years, they should not go back and retitle all of their older posts, but rather write a new post, indicating the revision, and just go on from there). I’m also sure it is a sore subject if someone were to replace pictures within previous posts (I admit to this wrongdoing on a couple of occasions). The list goes on and on.
But, backblogging? What do you think?
