Reconstructing Old Posts

Hello All!

I have been spending some time to "reconstruct" my old posts, mainly to convert from classic editor mode to block editor mode.

At the same time, I took the time to check what I wrote using Grammarly as I didn't use this in my earlier posts. And I therefore had the chance to fix quite a number of bad writing!

At the same time, I even found out that one post that I wrote seems to be duplicating in nature with another post that I wrote later on. So I decided to unpublish the old post, meaning, about 1000 words had to be wiped out. It is a pity but that's my mistake, and glad I realised it!

So it is good to go back once in a while to do some housekeeping.

And I quite enjoy touching up some of my old posts, rewording and adding internal links or external links where possible. Plus, I was able to embed some relevant YouTube videos into one of my post. So perhaps, I would consider these as a minor SEO improvement too.

To be honest, I do not know whether this is really time well-spent. But it is in my To-Do list for the longest time and I thought of getting them out of the way. And I recall reading somewhere that Google does like our post to be updated. So I hope Google likes me a little more where I am still not in its good books. *chuckle*

I have 2 more classic editors based posts to convert but I will continue tomorrow and I should then be on the move again to research and write new content.

Wishing you all a great day ahead!

Regards,
