As for compilation posts, I think those who would be interested in such things will also have to motivation to go digging in the archives themselves. Unless it's a post that has a direct relevance to what you are currently talking about, I'd say leave it in the archives.Xannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-375462896069663031.post-87453620809935064562011-04-27T15:36:30.957-04:002011-04-27T15:36:30.957-04:00I think a good way to do it is link to old posts i...I think a good way to do it is link to old posts in current ones, like at the bottom of the articles here, especially if they relate to the article. That way all the links will be interesting to the people seeing them because they clicked an article about that topic in the first place, and you're not overwhelmed by a bunch of articles at once of varying topics that don't all relate to what you want to read.JoeReviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01809855503461399655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-375462896069663031.post-85839785927635084002011-04-27T01:32:58.864-04:002011-04-27T01:32:58.864-04:00I really don't think it's necessary to mak...I really don't think it's necessary to make compilation posts, especially not if it's replacing actual content.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16669102827285893120noreply@blogger.com
