For years, I was what you might call a desultory blogger. Iâd pop on when I had something I wanted to note, or when I realized it had been too long between posts. Ironically, the first year of the pandemic was a particularly dry spell in terms of my online communication.Â
That changed in 2021. As a way to kickstart my output and overall creativity, I decided to post daily. Iâve talked about that goal before, and Iâve mentioned the benefits of sticking with a streak. Itâs been a good move for me in a number of ways, but it has produced a significant number of posts. WordPress is a useful platform in many ways, but it can get cluttered. Or maybe Iâve just dropped the ball on the keyword tags, but whatever. Itâs a lot.
My mother asked me for a list of my favorite posts the other day. I think she wanted to share what Iâm doing with a friend, but didnât want to overwhelm them with a deluge of posts.
Thatâs fair.
I do have a Favorites tag but it’s a bit haphazard and also still pretty extensive. So I put together a quick selection of some of my favorite posts and added that list to the sidebar. You may need to scroll down a little but youâll see that the widget is called (very cleverly, I thought) âFavorite Posts.â
Now, these arenât all of my favorites and they aren’t necessarily the most popular posts; that honor tends to go to the “quote and a pretty pictureâ post category, or ones that feature fluffy cats. (Maybe Iâll go back and tag those posts for easy access.)
I get it, some days you just need a pick-me-up.
But if youâre curious, check out these favorites. Comfortable with a little chaos? Dive right in with a random post.
Whatever path you decide to take, enjoy.
