For me it used to be very much a separate thing from having a website, I was posting short random posts on my <a href=\"http:\/\/wheels-frot.blogspot.co.nz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Blogger blog,<\/a> and it was generally just a fleeting bunch of photos and comments that would take too long to put on my real websites. The sort of things that would now be posted on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frot.co.nz\/design\/computing\/facebook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook <\/a>to disappear without trace in 48 hours.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WordPress<\/a> has come a long way in 10 years, and now that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frot.co.nz\/design\/wordpress\/frot-moves-to-wordpress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">we have moved our sites over to WordPress,<\/a> rather than using Dreamweaver 2004, the blog component is a very useful and fairly advanced part of the site. I&#8217;m using it for a wide range of different uses:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>To keep the site menu down to a manageable about of pages, I&#8217;m doing some new topics as posts that might previously have been pages, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frot.co.nz\/design\/wapf\/ankylosing-spondylitis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ankylosing Spondylitis<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frot.co.nz\/design\/wapf\/taurine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TAURINE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>When I&#8217;m adding a new page, sometimes I do it as a blog post first, then post it later as its own webpage when I&#8217;m happy with it, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frot.co.nz\/design\/computing\/why-i-wont-be-using-windows-10\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WINDOWS 10<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frot.co.nz\/design\/computing\/windows-10\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.frot.co.nz\/sift\/images_windows\/windows.10.fail.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"468\" height=\"263\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><strong>In some cases I already have a completed page like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frot.co.nz\/design\/health\/fluoride\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FLUORIDE <\/a>but potential updates keep coming in. Rather than updating and editing the page I can just quickly post the updates as their own blog posts such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frot.co.nz\/design\/wapf\/nz-government-is-having-another-crack-at-mandatory-poisoning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MANDATORY POISONING OF THE ENTIRE NZ WATER SUPPLY<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frot.co.nz\/design\/wapf\/fluoride-the-toxic-poison-in-our-water-supply\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fluoride: Worse than We Thought<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>When we have news or updates it&#8217;s a handy way to get the ball rolling, writing up an update that can later be shared by email or on social media, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frot.co.nz\/design\/frot-design\/photos-may-2016\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">NEW PHOTOS MAY 2016<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frot.co.nz\/design\/wordpress\/our-new-biokult-site-is-now-online\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">OUR NEW BIOKULT SITE IS NOW ONLINE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.biokult.co.nz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-44\" src=\"https:\/\/www.frot.co.nz\/design\/biokult\/files\/2016\/05\/Biokult.FB_.Header-2.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.frot.co.nz\/design\/biokult\/files\/2016\/05\/Biokult.FB_.Header-2.jpg 875w, https:\/\/www.frot.co.nz\/design\/biokult\/files\/2016\/05\/Biokult.FB_.Header-2-300x112.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.frot.co.nz\/design\/biokult\/files\/2016\/05\/Biokult.FB_.Header-2-768x286.jpg 768w\" alt=\"Biokult.FB.Header\" width=\"349\" height=\"130\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sometimes I&#8217;m copying entire pages from other websites because I like the content &#8211; it&#8217;s a quick and easy way to incorporate more content into this site.
