Sometimes It’s Better to Hit Delete

For the second time in the history of this blog I have deleted a post.

While that is an hour of my life I am not getting back I feel better for doing it. Anyone who grabbed the RSS up to about ten minutes ago will still be able to read it, but I am happier with it not on the blog.

Sometimes what seems like a good idea in your head just doesn’t work in reality. No matter how I edited the post it just felt wrong.

I think it was never going to work because it was a negative post. While it didn’t particularly attack anyone, more a way of thinking, in the end it isn’t my style and because of that no amount of effort is going to make me happy with it.

And if you are not happy with your own blog, how can we expect readers to be?
