Richard MacManus wrote a piece last year titled “Replanting Articles: Bring Legacy Posts to Your Website” and it resonated with me before I even got to the text. It’s exactly what I’ve been doing since relaunching my site last year. In addition to writing new posts, I’ve been digging through old favorites that used to be on the site and bringing them back, dated with their original post dates. I clean up links (removing some, pointing some to updated locations, and using Wayback Machine links in some places), possibly touch up crappy writing or spelling errors, and then add a bit of context at the top of the post.
