0:12.0 | Pat here and welcome to episode 348 of Ask Pat. |
0:15.3 | Thank you so much for joining me today. |
0:17.0 | All right, here's today's question from Bethany. |
0:21.1 | Hi, Pat. My name is Bethany. |
0:23.3 | I was wondering how often you go back and edit all of your blog posts. |
0:28.7 | I know since you, if you have like a new video that might would fit in with a post that you shared a few years ago, |
0:35.7 | do you go back, like, how do you go back and organize all |
0:40.0 | of that, or how do you find the old posts and where the new information might fit into |

1:23.3 | before I hit the publish button or perhaps even right right after, it doesn't matter, just as long |
1:28.0 | as you're thinking about it, you hit publish, you check out what other blog posts that you've |
1:33.4 | had in the past that can potentially relate to it. |
1:36.5 | Because there's a lot of things you can do. |
1:37.9 | It's not just going back into older posts and updating them. |
1:41.2 | It's going up to older posts and adding new resources, adding new links, |
1:46.5 | maybe changing the information. |
