I just discovered that you can edit the day and time of your post. I'm so smart. This is something that everyone and their sister probably already knew. Ah, blogging by the seat of my pants. It's the way I go.

For those of you who have been around for the long haul (you poor dears), you probably remember the "de-blogging" incident. Because of more things I didn't know (like how linking to things actually links your blog to other blogs, and to search engines), someone found my blog who I didn't want to have found it.

I took it all down, saving each entry in a Word document, and pouted. Then I decided to put it back up under new pseudonyms. I went through stages of how anonymous it would be, finally deciding on using no real names, but that pictures would be okay. I try to be careful what I link to and what I name files and pictures, but hey. It's the internet. People are going to find you. I had nothing to hide, I just didn't want said individual lurking around if at all possible. Internet stalkers suck.

The biggest change was that I decided not to blog anything about people that I wouldn't want blogged about myself. I have followed that rule mostly I think. That has left me due a trip into HBM's basement to let off some steam probably, but that's alright.

Anyway, as I ramble on into eternity . . . the point is, when I put back up my old blog, I didn't know that I could put in the real dates of the entries.

This Thursday marks one year of blogging for me. I don't know why I find this important, but I do. So, I wanted to make all the posts fall under their real dates.

This means that if you are using a reader, I owe you a big apology here. Nothing to see. Just me editing. Sorry about that.

Phew...I was nervous about all that reading. ----- COMMENT: AUTHOR:Anonymous slouchy DATE:Monday, May 14, 2007 at 5:38:00 PM EDT I love discovering new things about Blogger. I'm a technophobe, so there's still lots to discover. At any rate, I think there is. ----- COMMENT: AUTHOR:Anonymous gail DATE:Monday, May 14, 2007 at 6:25:00 PM EDT Luckily I just check blogs one post by one post, lol! ----- COMMENT: AUTHOR:Anonymous Sarah DATE:Tuesday, May 15, 2007 at 9:24:00 AM EDT I've enjoyed perusing your old posts. ----- COMMENT: AUTHOR:Anonymous *~*Cece*~* DATE:Tuesday, May 15, 2007 at 7:03:00 PM EDT Reading your "de-blogging" post is the EXACT reason why I won't use my full name, last name, or my husband's name. I'm afraid his psycho exwife might find me. No one in my family even has my blog link. And its another reason why I won't join my stepson's myspace b/c I know my husband's other kids are on there & I don't want them or their mom to be able to find me online.

Glad you're blogging again & happy one year blogiversary! ----- COMMENT: AUTHOR:Anonymous Bon DATE:Wednesday, May 16, 2007 at 10:37:00 AM EDT see, i knew there was an upside to my complete incapacity to use a blog reader regularly!

but yeh, the date thing is cool. it would upset my sense of order in the universe to have things incorrectly dated, so i'm very happy you were able to fix your posts all up nice. :)

and since comments weren't possible on your previous post, i just wanted to say - regarding the real moms post - thanks. thanks for letting me know it mattered. ----- COMMENT: AUTHOR:Anonymous Oh, The Joys DATE:Wednesday, May 16, 2007 at 2:00:00 PM EDT You are so fun. Let's post something from 1978! ----- COMMENT: AUTHOR:Anonymous whymommy DATE:Wednesday, May 16, 2007 at 3:23:00 PM EDT Congratulations on your one year Blogiversary! Wow! I hope you're planning a special post for tomorrow?

My next one is number *200*! It feels special, but I have no idea how to celebrate! Any suggestions? Nice bottle of wine with some diced fruit, perhaps?

We should celebrate together! ----- COMMENT: AUTHOR:Anonymous Andria DATE:Wednesday, May 16, 2007 at 5:26:00 PM EDT I, too, was just reading your de-blogging post... I can't imagine the psycho-ex calling after every blog post! I read through your archives, and you never attacked her or anything... it was just general love and concern for Lovely. Speaking of Lovely, is she heading into 6th grade? (Do I have the ages right?) Is she nervous about next year? ----- --------
