Comments from my wife
By QBlog in
I realize that most people who visit this blog don't read the archives. I also realize that even those few who do read the archives aren't aware that there are actually two sets of archives. The reason there are two sets of archives is because the original version of this blog used a different commenting system and I didn't want all the old comments to disappear into the Web abyss. Inquisitive readers can access the old comments by clicking on the "Comment Archives" dates on the left of the Main blog page, right below the current blog archives.
I know, I know, this is all very confusing. I'm sorry. It's the reality of my shortsightedness when I created this blog in the first place. I didn't put much effort into it because I really didn't have many expectations. As the blog has grown, I've decided to invest more time into it an make improvements and that's why I ditched the old "third-party" commenting system and chose something more dynamic and customizable. Make sense? Good.
Now, the point of all this was just to say that since so many of you folks don't read those old archives you are all probably unaware of some of my history and the history of this blog. For instance, did you know that my wife participated in this blog for a short period of time? Yes, it's true. My IBO wife and her immediate upline posted comments on this blog for a few weeks. To see how it all began just read Meet the Mrs. from Feb. 16 of this year. To find her comments you'll need to just read all the comments after that date (sorry, no easy way around it). Maybe I'll gather them all together and compile a "Collection of My Wife's Comments" some day? I dunno. We'll see.
Anyway, one final note. If you do read those old comments you probably don't want to post any of your own comments on them. They are old and will eventually be removed from the site completely. If you want to comment on something you read it would probably be best to make that comment as a response to this post. Besides, you will have better chance of getting your comment read by posting here. Enjoy.
Qblog, I know you're a technically savvy guy. Is there any chance you could import the old comments into your current blog database? I expect it would be a good bit of work, but it sure would enhance your blog.
I've been reading the archives from the beginning, and I sure didn't realized that there were "hidden" comments until your "two sets of archives" post to which you referred. (Although I had been wondering about all those "Comments (0)" links.)
FWIW, I didn't go back and read all the earlier comments, since I'd already gotten so far in the archives: it would have felt like going backwards. If I had known about the comments, though, I certainly would have read them as I got to them.
Anyway, take it for what it's worth. Just my humble opinion.
