Archived post: Given an old post a second life.
Although the content might not be new it still can be relevant to share some of our old posts, especially if these were read or seen only by a few which is often the case when we start blogging. I’ve got a lot of those posts that had only one read… So I thought of sharing some of them in the following weeks. For today, I pulled out from the archives one special post: Meet my friend, the novelist Elena Botchorichvili.

Hope you’ll enjoy getting to know her as much as I do…

I´ve read the original post but couldn’t leave a like or comment on it, because I was using my phone at the time, and it behaves funnily when I try to access a post outside the ones provided in my reader list. 😉 Going to do so now! 😀 xoxo

Great idea to revive old posts! I’m just starting a blog as a hobbie and just like you said: without followers some don’t get read; that and nowadays people is lazy and just don’t read… it’s difficult to keep up, but writing relaxes me, so I’m doing it for me, hopefully I will end up helping someone or inspirating someone. I follow you now.
