The Problem with Prewriting a Blog Post
I am working to update my blog 3 times a week, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Sometimes I have an idea for a blog and write it out ahead of time. I had one of those moments on Thursday. So I sat down and typed out my thought and ideas to have a post for Friday all ready. I then uploaded my post and set it to automatically publish on Friday.
Friday morning I woke up extra early, got dressed and shoveled my driveway. As I checked the twitter updates I first saw about the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. I reflected that my revelation from the day before made even more sense, prayed for Japan, Hawaii, and any other locations threatened by the tsunami. I got ready and left for a full day of subbing at a local high school. Saturday night I realized that my post had automatically published, but I could have made it more powerful by making a reference to Japan and how my issues seemed much more insignificant in light of the recent tragedies, but it had already published the post.
Now, do I go back and edit my post? Do I republish it once it is edited to try and drive more traffic to it? Or do I let that post stand as it is and move on? What do you think is the best way to handle this situation?
