Ever since my re-post the other day, I've been reminded of the fact that so many bloggers have some prettttty good stuff buried away in that ol' archive collection. I'm definitely one to do a little digging when I come across a new blog, especially the 'very first post' or others that catch my eye. And if a 'LinkWithin' looks interesting, I'll click & read it for sure. But of course, none of us have the time to read everyone's entire archive.
If you're like me, you have a hard enough time managing all of the new blog posts in the reader each day. None-the-less finding the time to do any sort of 'back-reading.' Well, I've got something to share. I read this post (written by Sarah, @ whoorl) last week, and let me tell you- this is a must-read. Blog reading has once again become simple, efficient, & FUN. Now, I'll even have a little time to head over to those archives once in a while.
So, I'm curious. If you're a blogger... what is one of your favorite posts? I'd love to read it. I've made it simple and included a link-up below. Think of it like blogger share & tell... perfect for a 'back to reality' Monday (after a lovely mother's day weekend). And a little way for me to dig through your posts-of-the-past without having to do any digging.
Link up a post that you'd like to share by entering the URL for that particular post below! Do you have more than one to share? Go for it. Because sometimes picking just one- or even two, is just way too difficult.
This was such a great way to look back, and for me a chance to see something new. I love digging around blogs. I now realize that I MUST dig further into yours :) I would love to sit and share some of that iced coffee sometime...I will figure out something to link up :)
ReplyDeleteok found a "healthy" one..which I need after this eating filled weekend :)
ReplyDeleteI know. I been reading some of other people's posts and my own and it's been such an amazing time of leisure, fun and a bit of healing.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this idea! I, too, often go back and read a first post. And I am pretty sure a lot of my first posts went unread :)
ReplyDeletexo
@domestic dish Oh, soooo do I. I look forward to reading it!
ReplyDelete@Bestie You gotta share some of those ‘unread gems’!! :)
ReplyDeletep.s. a lot of my favorite posts have to do with coffee too! can't wait for iced coffee season.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read those links. But I can't decide on one to link to for mine....I'll keep thinking....
ReplyDeleteWhen I discover a new blog I'm enjoying a lot, I often go back to the first month of posts because I'm always curious what they were writing about, then skip around through their posts. Yes, it's time-consuming but I don't do this with every blog and so I also click on LinkWithin a lot on my favorite blogs that I haven't been reading from the beginning. I love the term "unread gems." Don't know if I could call any of my early posts a gem, however! I feel like I was stumbling around in the dark when I first started blogging.
ReplyDeletei played along. i have a range of posts, from serious to funny to random. I chose one where I thought back to my childhood about all the things that I used to do. :) This is a fun linky!
ReplyDeleteOMG I had no idea about that NEXT button...and I agreed with everything she said about the reader. Thanks Torrie. Ok I know i have some blog posts for you but I have to go back and find them!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea. I will have to check back and see what's up.
ReplyDeletei'm loving iced coffee too lately. great idea to dig in the archives!
ReplyDeleteAh, I LOVE this idea! I do go back to some of my early posts and regret that my husband was pretty much my only reader. And thanks for permission to share a few. :)
ReplyDeleteOops, sorry am so useless I don't think I left the right link. really cool idea, you are so great with all this bloggie stuff Torrie. Well done you!
ReplyDeleteThank you to those who shared! I really enjoyed reading the links :).
ReplyDeleteSarah & Leslie: WELCOME!!
