At last, I have decided to organize my blogs. Ooooh my! Any of you who have tried to do that after several years of posting on half a dozen different blogs can sympathize with me.

Yes, I know it is like remembering to back up my computer files. I should have been keeping better track of my blog entries all along, but you know how it is. Life keeps getting in the way.

Anyway, last week I made a database form with columns for each of my blogs. Then I copied the title of each entry, the date I submitted it, and marked an X in the proper column to show where it had been posted. So far, so good. Actually, there were a few places I had submitted one or two blog entries to, but decided they weren't really places I wanted to continue with, so I didn't bother including them in my data base. I should probably go back and delete all of those entries so they won't be floating around in Cyberspace forever.

Hopefully, in time, I will be able to see at a glance when I wrote a particular article, where it appeared, and in how many different blogs I posted it.

I did keep copies on my computer of everything I wrote, but they are scattered here and there and also need to be organized. Maybe, if I live long enough, I will get around to making my own personal e-book with a chapter for each blog site.

Anyway, after listing all my major blogs on my new database, I found that, of them all, BlogEvolve.com was the only one where the articles are not dated. The comments are, but since many of my posts do not have comments, that isn't much help. Have any of the rest of you noticed this?

The lack of a date on each post shouldn't be too hard for our administration to rectify--if we had an administration, that is. Actually, we do have one--I know we do, because it wasn't too long ago, (maybe two or three months), that I saw a post by him.

How about it? Does it really matter whether our posts are dated. I, personally, enjoy looking at posts I wrote a couple of years ago and seeing the date on them.

After I get organized, really organized, I suppose I will be able to look at my handy-dandy article database and find out that I had the foresight to date my entry. But, knowing me, that is probably one of those things that is never going to happen.

ADMINISTRATION, can you please fix this little glitch for us?
