sw00792st93-before.during.redesigns

   Five to eight times this year I have gone through the entries in this journal:
redesigning, correcting errors, and/or double-checking.  Daily life needs and
sanity diversions often interrupted those runs.  On one run I deleted my name
from most entries.  Then, within three hours after posting an entry which did
not reveal my name/ someone went to my archives, took a picture of it, and
shared it with a large site as though that someone had written it.  Somewhat
reluctantly/ I put my name on that entry.  A day later (best I could tell through
a Google search) that large site had either hidden or removed it.  Honestly,
what I posted wasn't to my mind all that special; but I would not care if some
other person or persons used it as the base for something better.  The main
point here is that: in putting my name back on my entries, I was led to make
other design changes.  Wherever I saw entry-specific redundancies, I deleted
what was redundant.  Example:  If in an entry's subject "poem15" appeared,
and in that entry's body "poem 15" appeared, I removed the "poem 15" in its
body because the subject matter is always boldly transferred to the top of 
that entry's body it relates to.  Another such concerns the name I have given
my journal (blog).  That name shows in archives; besides, I have concluded
it is just an added distraction; and, what if I one day decide to change this
journal's name.  That is not likely to happen, but having to remove the old
name from who-knows-how-many entries// would not be a pleasure.  What
is most important are the subject and the body text pertaining to the subject.
So, to the bottom of an entry go those journal-related bits of info I consider
useful: the link to the homepage, my name, the AOL-provided entry number.
Of course, these bits are not/ absolutes.

Have been thinking about it over lunch: am going on an entry-#-removal
tour/ because my rationale for posting them/ has lost what little validity it 
originally had.  That is why the crust of snow we got Thursday is melting.
.
10:49 PM - Unless I missed one (or more), my tour concluded at 10:48.
Actually did not expect to get done today.  Will need to go back and 
check links, a task which will take a long while.  There are also some 
other not-quite-right situations.
