Plowing through ummm stuff

Having spent the last couple days doing a self-appointed and let me tell you pretty much ridiculous task which involved hours of typing and squinting at small print, tonight I decided that I could work my way through my untitled blog posts.

When I moved from Blogger to WordPress a long time ago, I’d been blogging for a long time already. I found a way to import my Blogger posts to WP and it worked. The one hitch is that Blogger had had no “Titles” for blog posts, just using the date, for a big part of my blog. Those posts came over to WP with a long rather random-esque number for the title. Looked awful. Rummaged around for advice and realized that WP is database driven and it’s MY database and so I went in and replaced all those numbers with a string of hyphens and spaces. At least it just looked like a failed bit of type-graphics stuff, LOL.

Lately I have been watching WP’s Site Stats and every once in awhile I see someone has viewed a page titled “- – – – -“. As soon as I saw that, I decided each time I saw one I’d go in and give it a real title.

Tonight I figured what the heck, if I can plow through two days of totally ridiculous work, I can make a project out of coming up with titles for past blog posts. So I’m going to do a bunch at a time, when I am in between things. It was sort of fun to revisit the early days.
