historical-non-fiction funny ~topps (me!) charts!
UI, UX: not so; and delightfully surprising! discoveries in my own blog archives
****
so, i was diggin' around in my archives yesterday trying to find my starbucks/surprise me post from 10 years ago or more. -never found it. but i did make a few other discoveries,
hmmm, -could it be exclusively because it's squidmann's crafty, historical~non-fiction funny writing?
-could it be because it captures unique & highly entertaining literary friendships in the blogosphere?
-or, is it just carnal minds using naked as a keyword in search?
*****
now, let's talk UI, UX with my blogger account here
it is painful to me, the current programming issue
and more important than that, it creates an utterly false timeline
the issue is this
see that, as of today, 3/22/2023, i have a total of 5,382 posts.
of those: 4,027 are accessible write now
but! 1,355 are in draft form. fyi: they were published at one time, and unpublished/placed back in draft form [vs. i never finished them.. and they remained in draft form. pretty big difference]
anyway,
when i was poking around in my own archives yesterday, i came across one in draft i wanted to republish. [topics controlling the weather & my optimism]
if i were just to click on publish. it would show up at the top; as if i wrote/posted it TODAY
(way inaccurate);
so, what i do, -my go-around, i call them
is that i open the post back up, type in the date it originally posted, and then republish; so that there is some record of the actual date.
-problem is, -for some, years ago, i republished before i made this discovery
so they have inaccurate dates which can no longer be corrected, except to read in context a time reference of one sort or another.
so, while i am inclined to republish material from my archives,
-this means i would have the tedious job of opening each one first; typing in the date (which may or may not be accurate), and then reposting..
but if i were to 'republish' and it just showed up where it originally was..
well, wouldn't that be wonderful!
but, let's say you have a draft, and it is not finished to your specifications, and you DO want it to post as if, when you finished it, it was that same day
-which is why we need these options:
publish today
publish to original date written
-for these thing i write and pray. amen.
