		<description>Hi Matt, long time no whatever,

I&#039;d be more inclined to write a new post if I had additional info or an update.  I try to find the older post and link back to it within the new post.  But after five years at the same popcycle stand, who knows what&#039;s buried at the bottom of the freezer?

Sometimes I correct typos, sometimes I leave them in for authenticity. Sometimes they are deliberate.

Occasionally I&#039;ll add info or make an apology in a comment if that is appropriate.

Now my musing is this:  should you update your Twitter every time you publish a new post?</description>

		<description>Thanks, Deb. 

From time to time I add online resources to help my readers research a subject further if they desire. I borrow the &quot;Further Information&quot; idea from Wikipedia to help my readers in this endeavor.</description>

		<description>This post is of great interest to me.  On occasion, I do edit blog posts.  

Generally speaking, the edits are limited to correcting typos or improving sentence clarity.  However, if I run across related online resource that I think will be helpful to readers, I have no qualms about adding it.  

I highly recommend this post to my blogging buddies.

		<description>Hey thanks, Jake! I&#039;ve been doing that a bit lately, reviewing my stats to see what older articles are remaining active. One article is ranked #3 in the SERPs for its particular word combination, so I&#039;ll be giving that article an update real soon.</description>

		<description>I can certainly understand updating a blog post when it&#039;s called for. After scanning through stats you can easily find a specific topic you may have missed when first writing. While it can inspire new posts, it&#039;s sometimes a useful addition to a current article post. BTW, I&#039;m enjoying your random thoughts!

		<description>Oscar, I like the idea of using strike through fonts when amending an article that has become a conversation thanks to the comments. An update note is wise too as it allows you to write a fresh article and to point readers to the new link. Very good tips!</description>

		<description>I try not to update once posted. However, I have found an occasional need. Mainly for typos, as I am not perfect. Sometimes for SEO. I have also done a small amount of corrections as it was found in the replies. 

Usually then I will use a strike through font so that future readers can have an understanding of the discussion.

But, if there were to be a major change, I would just leave the post as is, start anew. and edit in an &quot;update note&quot; on the original post to the new post.

		<description>Nico, that is a very good approach. I have a handful articles that are several years old bringing me regular traffic. Maintaining those pages makes very good sense because I want to encourage people to bookmark the page, return and read my updates.</description>

		<description>I also update my blog posts after publishing only if I have very important fact to update in my posts and if I have some typo are grammar mistakes. Also, I will update my blog post if my readers love it and if it is getting lots of traffic.</description>

		<description>I updated my post about Governor Mark Sanford to include a link to the statement made by his wife about the entire situation. I thought it was very relevant and warranted an update.
