I’ve been tagged by Jen for a meme that involves a little reviewing and assessing of my blogging past.
My Worst Post
I really don’t know. This one I’m composing right now might be in the runnning.
If I really thought a post was bad, I wouldn’t post it in the first place or I’d delete it. I have quite few posts that are of no real consequence, but does that make them bad? I guess I’d say I’ve posted a fair amount of drivel, but none I consider dregs.
My Best Post
Of all the posts I’ve written, I like this one the most. It may also be the one I spent the most time on. Every once in a while I edit it again just for the fun of it. And because I have an obsessive-compulsive streak.
A Post on Which I’ve Changed My Mind
I’m not sure I’ve actually changed my mind about anything. When I’m posting about anything important, I’ve usually thought things through ahead of time, and by the time I post on the subject, I’m pretty sure of what I think. If I’m not sure, I try to indicate that, since I’d rather understate the case than overstate it. That doesn’t leave much room for backtracking.
I’ve learned more about some things, so if I were to tackle certain subjects again, I might do things a little differently.
I’ve also regretted a remark I made in one of the old photo posts, because a couple of people I couldn’t have anticipated found it and I may have hurt their feelings a little. I can’t go into it more than that, because I might just make things worse. I also made a remark about a certain local event that annoyed someone and they sent me a few very nasty emails. In that case, I was right and the emails proved it, but the issue wasn’t worth the hassle, so I regretted my initial post. Let’s just say there are at least a couple of remarks that I wish I hadn’t written. Is that changing my mind?
The Post That Generated The Most Comments
I don’t know, and I can’t find out very easily, because the comment count drops off the Haloscan comments after a while. A few of the posts dealing with the sovereignty of God in salvation and the substitutionary atonement had 50 or more comments, and some of the cooperative list posts had quite a few as well.
Those aren’t really very satisfying answers, are they? If I had done this meme 6 months into blogging, I probably would have had better answers. But there’s just so much that’s gone on here over the years that it’s hard for me to remember specifics.
