FYI, I don't give a crap what all those things say about not revising your blog posts. I do it all the time. When the revisions are major or I'm providing an update about a time-sensitive topic, I say so by putting the EDIT or UPDATE in caps at the bottom of my post and the new material follows. Otherwise, when I'm making spelling or grammatical corrections or slight syntax changes, I never announce it. No one notices anyway.

I'm thinking of creating a new blog on blogger, actually. I've always blogged about things that are important to me: church, theology, social issues. But on LJ, everyone uses it as a personal journal and when I try to incite discussion I get bites only 50% of the time. LJ has been useful because I've been using it so long... I can see my own development as a young person through the years, and for that reason, I think I'll keep it. Plus it gives me a place to vent. I want a serious blog though, so that's what I'm working for.

P.S. I'm sure your examples are only examples, but I see you moving from blanket statements to more nuanced understandings of your topics. I personally will let my blog posts percolate in my mind for a few days or even a week for that reason. I sometimes think out my points and then flesh them out when I sit down to write. Also, on LJ you can always write a draft, lock it so only you can see it, and then when you're happy with it, you can unlock it and reset the date. I've done that before.

Leaving a comment on here because I can't seem to get anyone to read my lj of late:

That is the talk I was talking about, when I said it was a brilliant lecture on how to buy a car.
