Two very different answers here ๐
Lots of different ways.
- reposts
- sourcing from other sites.
- reading popular blog archives.
Thanks for an answer :)
What would 2 and 3 be? Like blogs they are popular now and going back?
For #2, there are multiple websites that deal with similar subjects. Pull good links from one and paste to another.
For #3, you are correct. Also, reading other blog posts on a linked blog.
The search function on the side is pretty decent, and clicking on the sourced link of a post shows you all the other times it was posted.
