The book analogy is great. I hope other people view my blog the same way. I hope to have my blog around for a very long time, after I’m dead even. The book analogy is great.

It's all over my comments as well; if you go back just two years and visit the pages of people who have left comments, most of them don't work anymore. The problem with spoken words is that they're often spoken in the heat of the moment, or perhaps not thought through. It makes it that much easier for the original meaning to be lost.

Not yours though, since I would ask you first, and since I would presume they'd always be there. They will won't they? I think of your blog like a book. I would take it off the shelf as I wished and replace it, as if it would always be there. I didn’t one could grab an entire blog…I just grab photos (not to reproduce, just to keep).

I usually end up remembering and linking back to stuff that inspires me or moves me... But I've never thought to archive someone's entire blog. It's easier to preserve a moment's brilliance if it's written, I feel, rather than spoken... I think spoken words can lose their original meaning if they aren't taken down and preserved correctly. I love reading through your old posts. I agree… I usually end up remembering and linking back to stuff that inspires me or moves me…

Wish I'd saved. And wished someone would have kept blogging or left it up or pointed forward instead of vanishing into ether. It emulates real life I suppose, the complete disappearances with nothing but neural traces. Yes, same here. Wish I’d saved.

You may remember the essence of an entry from the words, but images slowly fade with time. You never gave me the link to your old archives, although you did mention it before. Send away!

Not only writings, but pictures... but now I just have faint memories of the pictures, or just memories of the feelings that the picture evoked. Did I ever send you the link to where my old blog entries are archived? There are several blogs I wish I had done that with.
