I do not edit.

I will copy and paste into a new blog with the needed updates.

If the old blog is more than one year old and contains invalid information, I will delete it or LINK the two via a REVISION notice.

A chronic 'mangleing mess' that occurs when new blogs are published makes me think a thousand times knowing this will take a week of constant surveillance and correction before the end product displayed on AR is suitable as a blog from a professional.  

I'm so exasperated I've made no effert to fix the last blog pose.

I think it's important, especially for posts you link to over and over, for those that are evergreen, and ones with good traffic. Updates are viewed positively, and many of us have posts that can benefit from updates and cosmetics (e.g., better photos). And there are always broken links to be fixed!
