Today’s Sunday Poser from Sadje asks…
Do you re-share your older posts regularly?
Sadje then pointed out that “Fandango [that’s me] has a Friday Flashback prompt where he asks us to share a post written on the same date in the past.” Thanks for the shout-out, Sadje.
Back in 2019, on a whim, I looked through some of my old blog posts on this blog and on a few older blogs that are no longer online. I was struck by how I didn’t remember writing many of them. Even some of the more recent ones. And some of them, I thought, were quite good.
That’s how the idea hatched in my head to re-share these older posts. And so, I published my first Fandango’s Friday Flashback post with this opening line, “Time for something new…for me, anyway. Each Friday I will publish a post I wrote on this exact date in a previous year.”
If you want to read that inaugural, May 31, 2019 Friday Flashback post, click here.
So, to answer Sadje’s question, yes, I regularly — every Friday — re-share an older post of mine and have been doing so for three years and five months. Please feel free to join in. It’s fun.
Occasionally I will reshare something!
I love your Friday Flashback post!

It’s interesting when you look over an old forgotten post. You think gosh, this is good. Did I REALLY write this…….

I used to do the reshare on Fridays but then I found out that I do tend to write on similar topics so when something strikes a familiar cord, I look it up and if I find a post written on the same topic, I share that instead of writing a new one. And like you I find that my older posts are sometimes quite good. 😂

It is fun. I don’t do it as regularly as you. I don’t write everyday so I can’t always find a post from the exact same day, even after nine and a half years but you have inspired me to reuse and recycle old posts.

Excellent. Your old posts are probably new to many of your readers.

They would be as I had very few readers for the first two or three years.

If there is ever a day I actually catch up and can return to regular posting I WILL join in again.
