Making it easy to allow peeping into your public past
When you meet someone new, the most important things you usually want to know about them is not about their present but their past. You want to know their name, realize their gender, find out their habits and even know their current occupation or education; all these things were decided long time ago. People will usually tend to inquire about your past, your previous actions and your background. You can make it easy if you want for others to look into your public past.
Your life can be as open as you want it to be
I love taking such photos as they show me the things I have been through, the things I have seen and even things I may not have noticed. Our lives are like that. We steam ahead looking at the road in front of us, enjoying the scenery by the side and glancing at the past that we have experienced. Giving other people easier access to the things that you want to share from your past makes many people happy. When people easily find out about interesting things you want to share from your past, they will be more interested in you.
Your blog history should be preserved and presented with care too
Same thing happens with your online sites. Make it easier for people to find out what your site has previously done. Your archives page is one of the best ways to do that, and so are the small codes and snippets that can show related posts and previous articles based on keywords and tags on different pages of your site. Your “About” page is important as it shows not only more information about you but also what you have personally done in the past.
Understand the history of your own life and your blog if you want others to understand them too
For me, all of these areas need constant improving. I need to not only improve what I do now but I need to make myself understand my past better. If I cannot understand my own past or have easy ways of accessing it, I doubt I will be able to make it easy for others to know about my past. If I cannot understand the times and posts my own blog has been through, I doubt I can make it easy for my readers to realize the rich past it has to offer and the rich present it is currently trying to offer.
How about you?

I like the picture you took and your meaning behind it. I also like the idea of using a code that shows things like related articles, for example. I can see how it would allow readers of a blog to find out more about the author/past events. I know sometimes I’ll mention something in a blog entry that I had maybe mentioned (or something related to it) in earlier entries. I also know that some people may not have been around to read the related articles but might interested in catching up/learning more. I think I will look into adding something like that to my site.

Thank you Nicole. I am glad you like the picture.
If you want any ideas on the codes or examples/urls, please let me know. Yes, I also think similarly when it comes to previous posts that some people may not have read.
I really like the new layout, btw; previous one was nice too.

I could actually use some help if you’re up to it.
I downloaded the “Related Posts” plugin but I’m not exactly sure where to put the code at. You may or may not be using that plugin, though, so I understand if you can’t help me. If you can’t help me with thatm but you have some other ideas, that would be great, too. I’ll take any help I can get. 
My e-mail is nickikins@gmail.com Thanks!
And thank you also for the compliment. I appreciate it.
I see you have dolled up your header a bit. It looks good.

Nicole, no problem at all. I am actually using that very plugin also.
I just sent you an e-mail with some helpful information.
Thanks for noticing the new logo! I put it up earlier today and more details are in the other post.
