Comments on: Updating An Old Post, Will Get You Crawled http://bloggingwithoutablog.com/updating-an-old-post-will-get-you-crawled/ Wed, 23 May 2012 21:04:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Barbara http://bloggingwithoutablog.com/updating-an-old-post-will-get-you-crawled/#comment-731 Barbara Sat, 20 Oct 2007 08:14:32 +0000 http://bloggingwithoutablog.com/updating-an-old-post-will-get-you-crawled/#comment-731 Catherine, Glad you like the tips. I work on updating mine whenever I find free time (which isn't too often). To use the postdate feature on WordPress, you need to "check" the "edit timestamp" box, then enter the date and time you want the post to be published. I do that first, then hit the "publish" button. You can always go back to that "postdated" post, and edit it if you want to. It will show on your Dashboard area as "an uncoming post" (I think that's the wording), and it shows how soon it will publish, i.e. in 23 hours, or whatever. I do the same thing as you do Catherine, with drafts. Isn't that the greatest? I usually have about 15 or more "hints" for posts, some half written posts, and some with just a word. I'm big on list making and once I make my entry, I can forget about it, until it's time to write the post. Catherine,

When I first began blogging I used to try to base my posts around keywords. Well, I moved my personal blog to wordpress and I have realised that people are reading awful old posts. I moved my old blogger posts to wordpress, but sometimes I really regret it. And I never really thought about updating them, but i will certainly try it. Thanks for the great tips. Is the wordpress postdate feature the same as drafts. I write a lot of those - just sentences to remind me of what to write. That helped a whole heap when I had flu. Barbara – this is a great idea.

It's not always easy to keep up the pace, but I try awfully hard to prioritize. The unimportant things suffer, but as time goes by, I am also trying to simplify my life and be more organized. My blogs have become an important part of my daily routine, however, I do take the weekends off from posting. It's also on weekends when I may "update" a post, so I continue to get crawled. I also use the WordPress "postdate" feature. That comes in real handy when I know our business is going to need my undivided attention. Hi Ian,

And something I wanted to get onto straight away. I've been really busy, but this is one I want to come back to. In fact, there are several of your posts that I need to come back to and work on! How do you keep up the pace! I think I'll have to just do this a bit at a time - as you point out, too much at once is not good! Barbara,
